9. An element Q with electronic configuration 2.8, 2 reacts with elements R. with electronic configuration 2, 8, 7 to form an ionic compound. The likely formula of this compound is:

Answerhund's rule;

Ithink the answer is c

Answer is: value of q is 5·10⁻⁶m.chemical reaction: mg²⁺(aq) + co₃²⁻(aq) → mgco₃(s).c(mg²⁺) = 2.5·10⁻³ m; concentration of magnesium cations.c(co₃²⁻) = 2.00·10⁻³ m; concentration of carbonate anions.q = c(mg²⁺)  · c(co₃²⁻).q = 2.5·10⁻³ m  · 2.00·10⁻³ m.q = 5·10⁻⁶m.q = 0.000005 m.
