I think its c because solid,liquid nor plasma really fits to the description and i don't really know the last one so the best option is probably C.
A metal ion is a type of atom compound that has an electric<span> charge. </span>Such<span> atoms willingly lose electrons in order to build positive ions called cations.</span>
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".
