Argon is a suitable choice for light bulbs because it is inert. Compared to a reactive gas like oxygen, the metal filimant would burn up in a reactive environment, which is why a noble gas is used.
I am thinking it is c) A microscope is used to magnify a group of cells on a slide.
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
Answer:
Yes the two of the answer is True
