Solution

(a) Element W with atomic number 8 is Oxygen (O), which is in Period 2, Group 16 of the periodic table. Element X is not given an atomic number, so it cannot be placed accurately on the periodic table.

(b) The electronic configuration of an ion is based on the number of electrons it has. In an ionic compound, atoms lose or gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Since Y reacts with W (Oxygen) to form an ionic compound, Y must be a metal that can lose electrons. Oxygen, on the other hand, tends to gain 2 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Therefore, the ion W (Oxygen) will have an electronic configuration of 2,8 (since it has gained 2 electrons). The electronic configuration of Y will depend on the number of electrons it originally had and how many it lost, which is not specified in the question.
