<h2><u>Answer</u>:</h2>Y is from Group 17. It needs 1 electron to complete its octet. There are total 6 lone pairs in molecule and 1 bond pair. The bond is covalent bond.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>In the picture given, we can see that it contains Lewis Dot structure of two elements X and Y. The X is said as a halogen and also correspondingly has 7 electrons in its outermost shell. The Y isn't mentioned which element it is, but similarly to X it also has 7 electrons in its outermost shell. So it is also a halogen. The group of the halogen is group 17. So Y belongs to group 17.
As the element has 7 electrons in its outermost shell, so it needs 1 electron to fulfill it's octet. It forms a covalent bond with X from where it gets 1 electron via sharing.
So now, there are three unshared electron pair of X and 3 unshared electron pair of Y. So a total of 6 unshared electron pair and 1 bond pair of electron between X and Y.
