The given question is incomplete. the complete question is:
The electron arrangement ions
and
are 2, 8, and 2, 8, 8 respectively.
Write the electronic arrangement of the elements X and Y.
Write the formula of the compound that would be formed between X and Y.
Answer: 1. The electronic arrangement for X and Y are 2,8, 3 and 2,8,5 respectively.
The formula of the compound formed is 
Explanation:
Electronic configuration is the arangement of electrons in an atom in order of increasing energies.
Cations are formed when electrons are lost by atoms and anions are formed when electrons are gained by atoms.




For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced.
Here element X is having an oxidation state of +3 called as
cation and
is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral 
Parthenolide is a sesquiterpene lactone which occurs naturally in the plant feverfew--highly concentrated in the flowers and fruit.
For a solution to be tested in this experiment and must be buffered to pH of 10, the [OH-] change will be, The hydroxide concentration would be higher and the formation of insoluble hydroxide salts with Mg^2 and Ca^2 would cause the determined concentration of water hardness to be too low.
<h3>What would be the [OH-] change?</h3>
Generally, the equation for the Total hardness is mathematically given as

Where

D=0.02/0.01=2
Therefore

T=1632ppm
in conclusion, The hydroxide concentration would be higher .
