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.
Yes you can it will not just have 5 :)
Sorting is a method that could separate those materials

Explanation:
In order to answer this question, the units of volume must be consistent. In this problem, we decide the unit m3 to be uniform. Option A is equal to 12 m3, option b is equal to 1.2x10^8/100^3 or 120 m3. Option C is 2.0 x10^4/ 10^3 or 20 m3. Option D is 1.2x10^8/ 1000^3 or 0.12 m3. The greatest volume is option b. 120 m3.
