(a) Li
(b) P
(c) F
(d) Ne
Step-by-Step Solution:
Solution 24P
Step 1:
Lithium : The electronic configuration of Li = 1s22s1.
The electron present in outer most orbital that is valence electron present in 2s1 is involved in the bond formation .
Step 2:
Phosphorous : The electronic configuration of P = 1s22s22p63s23p3.
The 3 electrons present in the valence P orbital will be involved in the bond formation .
