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

How is earth's mantic field similar to that of a bar magnet
Alika [10]

Answer:The outer core of the Earth contains a lot of iron in a molten state. As the Earth spins this molten iron moves and creates the Earth's magnetic field. The Earth behaves as if there is a huge bar magnet at its centre. The shape of the field around the Earth is very similar to the field around a bar magnet

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: The strange liquid would float to the top of a cup of water.

Explanation:

Density = Mass/Volume

Strange Liquid Density = 70g/84mL

Strange Liquid Density = 0.833g/mL

Density of water in g/mL = 1 g/mL

Strange Liquid Density < Water Density

A substance with a lower density would be suspended above a substance with a higher density.

Since the density of the strange liquid is less than that of water, it would float to the top of a cup of water.
