Answer

Please see the answer below.

Work Step by Step

(a) Li - $1s^{2}2s^{1}$ Lithium contains one electron in its valence shell. By losing one electron in the valence shell $Li^{+}$ is formed. (b) Cl - $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{5}$ Chlorine contains seven electrons in its valence shell. By accepting one electron $Cl^{-}$ is formed. (c) S - $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{4}$ Sulfur contains six electrons in its valence shell. By accepting two electrons $S^{2-}$ is formed. (d) Sr - $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{6}4s^{2}$ Strontium contains two electrons in its valence shell. By losing two electrons in the valence shell $Sr^{2+}$ is formed. (e) N - $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{3}$ Nitrogen contains five electrons in its valence shell. By accepting three electrons $N^{3-}$ is formed.
