The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the noble gases `P`, `Q`, and `R` based on the given descriptions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify `P`:** - `P` is a noble gas with two electrons in its valence shell. - The only noble gas with two electrons in its valence shell is **Helium (He)**. - Therefore, `P = Helium`. 2. **Identify `Q`:** - `Q` is described as the lightest noble gas having eight electrons in its valence shell. - The lightest noble gas with eight electrons in its valence shell is **Neon (Ne)**. - Therefore, `Q = Neon`. 3. **Identify `R`:** - `R` is the most abundant noble gas in the atmosphere. - The most abundant noble gas in the atmosphere is **Argon (Ar)**. - Therefore, `R = Argon`. ### Final Answer: - `P = Helium (He)` - `Q = Neon (Ne)` - `R = Argon (Ar)`
