Answer:
The correct option is;
D. All the elements in families 1 and 2 can place all their shell electrons in the s sub-level
Explanation:
The elements in families 1 and 2 also called the group 1A and group 2A elements are known as the alkali and alkaline earth metals. The elements in the families 1 and 2 are also referred to as the s-block elements as they have their valence electrons which are 1 and 2 respectively, in the s-orbital or s sub-level
Due to their low ionization energy, and the ease with which they donate their valence electrons, elements of the families 1 and 2 are known to be very reactive, and are found in a combined state in nature.

hope i helpedXD
Answer:
b) +2 and +3.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the molecular formulas:

And:

We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:

Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:

Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3
Best regards.
