Answer: In a chemical equation the reactants are located on the left side and the products are located on the right side.
Answer:
An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of some electrons from one atom to another. The atom losing one or more electrons becomes a cation or a positively charged ion. The atom gaining one or more electrons becomes an anion which is a negatively charged ion.
X: 1S²2S²2P⁶
Y: 1S²2S²2P⁶3S²3P⁶
The statement which is most likely correct about the two elements is
They will not react because both have a complete outermost shell and are stable.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
The P orbital can hold a maximum of 6 electrons,therefore the 2P orbital for x and 3P orbital for Y which are outermost subshell are fully filled .
This make element Y and x stable since they cannot react either by gaining or losing electrons.
