a. Solid to liquid - melting process
b. Liquid to gas - evaporation process
c. Gas to solid - deposition process
d. Solid to gas - sublimation process
e. Liquid to solid - solidification process
f. Gas to liquid - condensation process
Answer:
B) They will react because X and Y can share two pairs of electrons to become stable
Explanation:
The electron configurations of two elements x and y are given :
X: 1s2 2s2 2p6
Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
The statement that is true for both the elements is that, they both will react as they both can share two pairs of electrons to become stable.
To become stable the outermost shell or p orbital should have 8 electrons, so element X can gain 2 atoms to become stable.
Element Y can also react as it can also share two atoms to fulfill its 3p orbital and will stable.
Hence, the correct option is "B".
Look at the protons and electrons and rememeber metals want to get rid of electrons to be perfect. Nonmetals are wanting to take in. Metals are negatives in electrons. Opposite for nonmetals.
No doubt it's B. solid, liquid, and gas.
Hope this helps!
