Here are the solutions to the questions from the image: --- 1) An element P forms a stable ion with the formula P^3+. P is in period 3 of the periodic table. (P is not the actual symbol of the element) a) Write the electron arrangement of P^3+ Element P is in Period 3, meaning it has three electron shells. It forms a stable ion P^3+, which means it has lost 3 electrons to achieve a stable noble gas electron configuration (an octet in its outermost shell). A stable ion in Period 3 that has lost electrons would typically achieve the electron configuration of Neon (2.8). If P
