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.

1) Answer is: 5.
Chemical dissociation of aluminium sulfide in water:
Al₂S₃(aq) → 2Al³⁺(aq) + 3S²⁻(aq).
There are five ions, two aluminium cations and three sulfide anions.
2) Answer is: 4.
Chemical dissociation of aluminium fluoride in water:
AlF₃(aq) → Al³⁺(aq) + 3F⁻(aq).
There are four ions, one aluminium cation and three fluoride anions.
Aluminium has oxidation +3, because it lost three electrons, to gain electron configuration as noble gas neon.
