Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of argon is 18 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{6}.

Also, it is known that number of electrons in K, L and M shells of argon are 2, 8, 8.

Thus, we can conclude that an atom of argon in the ground state tends not to bond with an atom of a different element because the argon atom has a total of eight valence electrons.

So, as per the octet rule, last sub-shell of argon is completely filled. Hence, it will not form any bond with any other atom.

Answer: The bond formed between the elements will be ionic bond.

Explanation: We are given two elements having electronic configurations:

Element 1: 1s^22s^1

Element 2: 1s^22s^22p^5

Element 1 can easily loose 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration and Element 2 can accept 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration.

For these elements, there will be a complete transfer of electron from Element 1 to Element 2. Hence, this will form a ionic bond.

From the configuration, Element 1 is Lithium and Element 2 is Fluoride. So, the compound is LiF.
