(i) , (ii) , (iii) , (iv)
(i) The given electronic configuration shows that A represents noble gas because the octet is complete. A is Neon which has 10 atomic number.
(ii) The electronic configuration of C represents chlorine. Dichlorine is a stable form of chlorine.
(iii) The electronic configuration shows that 
represents phosphorus and C represents chlorine. The stable compound formed is 
i.e., 
.
(iv) Both B and C are non-metal atoms. B represents phosphorus and C represent chlorine. Thus, the bond between B and C will be covalent.
