Answer:
Case 1:
X = Any element from Group I
i) H
ii) Li
iii) Na
iv) K
v) Rb
vi) Cs
Y = 1
Case 2:
X = Any element from Group II
i) Be
ii) Mg
iii) Ca
iv) Sr
v) Ba
vi) Ra
Y = 2
Case 3:
X = Any element from Group III
i) B
ii) Al
iii) Ga
iv) In
v) Ti
Y = 3
Explanation:
The general formula given is as follow,
XCly
So, if X has +1 oxidation state, then it will require only one Cl atom with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 1.
If X has +2 oxidation state, then it will require two Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 2.
If X has +3 oxidation state, then it will require three Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 3.
It is an open series circuit and this is why:
its obvious its a series circuit because all the symbols are in a straight rectangle.
its an open circuit because an open circuit has something that doesn't allow the electrons to flow all the way. and the thing blocking the electrons it the switch which is open, (off).
Hope this helped!! sorry its late!!
