 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.
