Answer #1

1)

Number of electron in Mg = 12

Electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

Answer: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

2)

Number of electron in Cl = 17

Electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

Noble gas having lesser electron than Cl and closest to it is Neon (Ne)

Number of electron in Ne = 10

electronic configuration of Ne is: 1s2 2s2 2p6

So, electronic configuration of Cl in noble gas form is: [Ne] 3s2 3p5

Answer: [Ne] 3s2 3p5
