Electrostatic, meaning the attraction from one's positive nucleus is to the negative electrons of the other atom and vis versa.
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.
