Compound X is a secondary alcohol whose formula is C3H8O. When compound X is heated with strong acid, it dehydrates to form comp
ound Y (C3H6). When compound X is oxidized, compound Z (C3H6O) forms, which cannot be oxidized further.

Answer:
See picture for answer
Explanation:
At the beggining, we know that X is a secondary alcohol, with 3 carbons. The only secondary alcohol with 3 carbons, it's the isopropylic alcohol (or 2-propanol). So, in strong acid conditions, we are actually dehidrating the alcohol, to form an alkene, and then it's oxidized to form either a Ketone or aldehyde.
So in picture 1, you have all three compounds, and the mechanism of reaction to form Y.

The atoms combine to form compounds to attain stability in nature. The combination of atoms takes place by sharing of electrons between the atoms or complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Generally, atoms combine to complete their octet, that is to possess eight electrons in their outer most shell (noble gas configurations) except hydrogen which can attain stability by two electrons in its outer most shell.
Since germanium has 4 electrons in its outer most shell so it needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet and attains the stability. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer most shell and it needs only 1 electron to attain stability so, each germanium will combine with 4 hydrogen atoms and thus forming molecule which is stable in nature.
Hence, is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium.
