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".
Answer:
a. 2,9x10⁻⁴ M HCl
Explanation:
A solution is considered acidic when its concentration of H⁺ is higher than 1x10⁻⁷. The higher concentration of H⁺ will be the most acidic solution.
a. 2,9x10⁻⁴ M HCl. In water, this solution dissolves as H⁺ and Cl⁻. That means concentration of H⁺ is 2,9x10⁻⁴ M.
b. 4,5x10⁻⁵M HNO₃. In the same way, concentration of H⁺ is 4,5x10⁻⁵M.
c. 1,0x10⁻⁷M NaCl. As this solution doesn't produce H⁺, the solution is not acidic
d. 1,5x10⁻²M KOH. This solution produce OH⁻. That means the solution is basic nor acidic.
Thus, the solution considered the most acidic is a. 2,9x10⁻⁴ M HCl, because has the higher concentration of H⁺.

Explanation:
Since the molecule contains Hydrogen and is covalently bonded, it contains dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonds.
The first ionisation energy of silicon is greater than that of phosphorus.
