Unfortunately you did not specify the electronic configuration in the question, however since one of the answers must be a halogen, i took the liberty to attach an image with the configuration (both the simple numeric and spdf form) for all the halogen and all you have to do is match the electronic configuration you have in your question to the one in the table attached and you can then deduce the answer.

Answer:
a)
b) entropy of the sistem equal to a), entropy of the universe grater than a).
Explanation:
a) The change of entropy for a reversible process:
The energy balance:
If the process is isothermical the U doesn't change:
The work:
If it is an ideal gas:
Solving:
Replacing:
Given that it's a compression: V2<V1 and ln(V2/V1)<0. So:
b) The entropy change of the sistem will be equal to the calculated in a), but the change of entropy of the universe will be 0 in a) (reversible process) and in b) has to be positive given that it is an irreversible process.
