Given:

Electronic configuration of an atom = 2, 8, 7

To find:

Atomic number of the element =?

Chemical similarity = ?

Solution:

As the electronic configuration of the given atom is 2,8,7 it is inferred that the atomic number of element is 17 (2+8+7).
Thus element with atomic number 17 is Chlorine.
Among the options given which includes Nitrogen, Fluorine, Phosphorus and Argon, chlorine is chemically similar to fluorine.
It is because chlorine and Fluorine belongs to same group 17 and they are called as halogens.
Other elements such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Argon are not halogens.
