Answer:

For ²⁰⁸Pb²⁺ cation, the sum of the number of neutrons and electrons = 206

Explanation:

Lead, chemical symbol Pb, is a chemical element which belongs to the group 14 of the periodic table. The atomic number of lead is 82 and it is a member of the p-block.

The isotope of lead with the mass number 208, has 126 neutrons.

Since, atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons for neutral atom

Therefore, for ²⁰⁸Pb: number of electrons= 82

So, for ²⁰⁸Pb²⁺ cation: number of electrons= 82 - 2 = 80

Therefore, for ²⁰⁸Pb²⁺ cation, the sum of the number of neutrons and electrons = number of electrons + number of neutrons = 80 electrons + 126 neutrons = 206.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

X is Be

Y is B

Z is O

Explanation:

In order to understand the solution, we need to that the an element form a bond based on

1 The number of valence electron available in its atom

2 The number of electron it require to attains its stable state i.e its Octet state

The number of valence electron for each of the option are

F = 7, N = 5 , O = 6 , C = 4 , B = 3 , Be = 2

Considering the first element

We see that X is donating two valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 2 Cl as Cl only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state

Now looking option we can see that Be has two valence electron in it atom and in order for it to attain its stable state it needs to release the electron so the correct option for this question is Be

Considering the second element

We see that Y is donating three valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 3 Cl as Cl only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state

Now looking option we can see that B has three valence electron in it atom and in order for it to attain its stable state it needs to release the valence electron so the correct option for this question is B

Considering the second element

We see that Z is donating two valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 2 Cl as Cl only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state, also Z has 2 lone-pair valence electron

Now looking at the option we can see that O has 6 valence electron so if it donates 2 valence electron it will still be left with 4 - pair of electron

Therefore the correct option to this question is O
