Question

8. An atom X has electronic configuration 2,8,7. It combines
with Y having 1 electron in its outermost shell.
(a) What type of bond will be formed between X
and Y?​

Answer 1

Answer:

hope it will help solve my question also

Answer 2

Answer:

ionic bond or electrovalent bond

Explanation:

because X had 7 electrons in its outermost shell and to gain stability it has to complete 8 electrons in its outermost shell ,and Y had 1 electron in its outermost shell so if Y lose 1 electron then it also became stable I.e. X has to gain 1 electron and Y has to lose 1 electron to became stable, so they both exchange Electron between them and became stable,

this exchange of electron or ( gain or loose of electrons ) is known as ionic bond .
