I believe the answer is D) 2
Write the symbols for the cation and the anion: Mg and Cl. Determine the charge on the cation and anion. If the cation has a Roman numeral after it, that is the charge on that cation. Cations receive Roman numerals when they can take more than one ionicform.

Answer:
a. fluorine
Explanation:
Fluorine is the element of group 17 and period 2. The electronic configuration of the element is .
Stable oxidation state = -1 of fluorine as it gains one electron to gain noble gas configuration.
With alkali metals, which have oxidation state of +1 form ionic compound of the form, MX where X is F.
Among the halogens, fluorine forms the most stable halide because of the comparable size of the hydrogen and fluorine. Thus, it is the weakest acid when compared with other hydrogen halides.
Fluorine is the most reactive in the halogen series and thus, combines with most of the elements.
Fluorine forms inter-halogen compounds of form XA only. Example - ClF.
Hence, option a is correct.
It is a element.
Pure substances includes either compunds, or elements. Elements are the simplest form of pure substance, they only consist of one kind of atoms. On the other hand, compounds contains two or more elements that are chemically combined together. Although you couldn't separate a compound by physical methods like filtration, but you can seperate them with chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis, using electricity.
Therefore, since compounds can be broken down eventually, so, the answer will be element.
