Answer: m Most likely Group2 metals and Group 17 non-ktta                                                                

Explanation:

A little more information is needed to be certain, but the likely answer is that X belongs to Group 2 and Y belongs to Group 17.  Group 2 metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, etc.) are all divalent.  They gave rive up 2 electrons each to return to a full shell.  Group 17 elements (e,g, F, Cl, Br, I, etc.) all require 1 electron to reach a full valence shell.  That would make the proportion 1X to 2Y, or XY2.  It is possible that a metal outside of Group 2 would also have a valency of 2.  Iron(II) forms FeCl2, for example.

1.Which statement best describes scientific laws
gtnhenbr [62]
In a way, all of the answers could be argued for (for example: in the first option: if the scientists' opinions are understood to be "informed understanding of the causes of events"), but one of the options is the best:
Scientific laws describe specific relationships in nature without offering
an explanation.

The reason why  I think this is true is that many laws are phased too short and too concise to provide comprehensive explanations, instead they describe the relationships that must hold.


One of the options is pplain false:
Scientific laws explain why natural events occur. -"Scientific laws were theories that have been tested, proven, and adopted as laws." - since they are not adopted as laws.

Which group on the periodic table would have zero electronegativity because they have a full octet?
bija089 [108]
The group on the periodic table that would have 0 electronegativity due to the fact that their valence shell is full, i.e, have a full octet would be the inert or noble gases. They have a total of 8 electrons in their valence shell and are thus inert and cannot strongly attract electrons toward itself, from neighbouring atom electrons as it does not need to.
