I hope this helps. I'm more than 100% sure that all the answers except for number 7 are correct. I knew all of them off the top of my head except for this one. I hope the other answer has the correct answer for that one. Good luck and have a great day.
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:
The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge).
