  • (9) would be chemically similar to the atom which has electronic configuration of 2, 8, 7
    The given electronic configuration of the element is 2, 8, 7, and it shows that this element has 7 valence electrons in its atoms. 
  • The atomic number of N is 7, so the electronic configuration is 2,5. The atomic number of F is 9, so the electronic configuration is 2, 7
  • The atomic number of P is 15, so the electronic configuration is 2, 8, 5.
  •  Finally, the atomic number of Ar is 18, so the electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8. We can see that fluorine has 7 valence electrons, just like the given element.
