Answer

  1. Protium [11H^11\text{H}], Deuterium [12H^21\text{H}], Tritium [13H^3_1\text{H}]
  2. Sodium [e = p = 11, n = 12] and Chlorine [e = p = 17, n = 18]
  3. The valency is 3 positive. Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 3. Therefore, the element tends to lose 3 electrons and gain stable octet configuration.
  4. K shell.
  5. Noble gases [He, Ne, Ar etc.]
