Answer

(a) XY2
Reason — As element X has 2 electrons in its M shell, so the electronic configuration of X is [2, 8, 2] and Y has 7 electrons in the third shell so its electronic configuration is [2, 8, 7]
X donates it two valence electrons and completes its octet and two atom of Y accepts the electrons to attain the octet, hence the compound formed is XY2.

(b) The nearest inert gas electronic configuration for element X is 2, 8 i.e., Neon while that for element Y is 2, 8, 8 i.e, Argon.

(c) Orbital diagram of XY2

An element X has 2 electrons in its M shell, it forms bond with an element Y which has 7 electrons in its third orbit. Show using an orbital diagram the formation of compound between X and Y. Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding, Concise Chemistry Solutions ICSE Class 9.
