A^-2 and B^+3.
that's how the ions will be formed.

Rahul1905: electronic configuration of A is 2, 8, 6. so it will gain 2 electrons to complete its octet and is the case with B

A has atomic no 16 therefore it wants to take up 2 electrons to attain the nearest noble gas configuration of argon which has an atomic no of 18. Therefore,
A + 2e^- -> A^2-

B has atomic no 13 therefore it wants to give away 3 electrons to attain the nearest noble gas configuration of neon which has atomic no 10. Therefore,
B -> B^3+ + 3e^-
