Answer:
Explanation:
The atom X has 1 1 protons (atomic number) and thus would have 11 electrons. This means the atom X would have 1 valence electron in it's outermost shell. While the atom Y has 17 protons (atomic number) and thus would have 17 electrons. This means the atom Y would have 7 electrons in it's outermost shell.
The type of bond this atoms (X and Y) would form is an Ionic (or electrovalent) bond. <u>This bond/combination involves the transfer of electron(s) and a molecule is not formed</u> as seen in the image below.
