a.
Interpretation:
Groups to which the hypothetical elements given in the question fall to should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The group number of an element is given the formula: 10+n, where n is the number of valence electrons denoted in the Lewis structure of an element.
Interpretation:
The Lewis formula for each compound that the given element will form with should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis Formula represents the simplest formula for denoting a chemical compound. Rules for writing a Lewis formula:
- Firstly, choose the central atom. Generally, atoms with the lowest electronegativity like metals from the central atom. Then we draw the molecular skeleton.
- After that, we count all valence electrons including the charges on the atoms in the molecule.
- For 2 electrons, we draw a single bond from each surrounding atom to the central atom.
- If there are any electrons left after the formation of single bonds, we distribute the rest of the electrons as lone electron pairs.
- One important thing to notice is that if some of the atoms lack octet structures, change as many lone electron pairs into bonds required to complete the octet shells.

Interpretation:
The Lewis formula for the ions of X and Y that they will form after reacting with should be determined.
