7 would be correct because I divide it
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
Answer:
Be,Mg,Ra etc
Explanation:
It should be palced in group 2A because as it reacts with chlorine in ratio of 1:2 . It's valancy is 2 and is metal as it react with non metal donating two electrons .
one more thing it fits there orderly
Answer:
clf3
Explanation:
it occupied more than 8 valence electrons
