Answer:
The two elements with atomic number 9 and 12 are represented by letter Q and R respectively, where Q represents fluorine atom and R represents magnesium atom.
1. Electronic configuration of R that is magnesium (atomic number 12) is:
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2
2. Q represents fluorine atom, which belongs to group 17 in periodic table that is the most reactive and lightest member of the group.
3. Q and R that is fluorine and magnesium combinely form magnesium fluoride or MgF2.
