Oxidation is giving out one or more electrons gaining a positive charge.
Reduction is taking one or more electrons and gaining a negative charge
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.
Mitosis has one round of cellular division and genetic separation whereas meiosis has two rounds. The two processes are also different because in mitosis the daughter cells are exactly identical to the parent cells compared to meiosis where the daughter cells are not genetically identical to the parent cells
