1) Atomic number of argon (Ar) is 18, it means that it has 18 protons and 18 electrons.

Electron configuration of argon atom: ₁₈Ar 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶.

2) Atomic number of chlorine (Cl) is 17, it means that it has 17 electrons and 17 protons, but if it receive one electron, it becomes anion Cl⁻ with 18 electrons.

Electron configuration of chlorine anion: ₁₇Cl⁻ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶.

3) Atomic number of sulfur (S) is 16, it means that it has 16 electrons and 16 protons, but if it receive two electrons, it becomes anion S²⁻ with 18 electrons.

Electron configuration of sulfur anion: ₁₆⁻ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶.
