Answer:
The element X is Magnesium and when this element is combined with oxygen it forms an oxide to make it electrically conductive.
This oxide has 2 electrons in the valence shell of the element.
The formula for this compound when it will be combined with chlorine will be MgCl2.

Explanation:
XCl2
Explanation: An element X combines with oxygen to form an oxide XO. Hence, its valency is 2. This oxide is electrically conducting therefore it must be an oxide of a metal. Therefore, the formula of the compound formed when X reacts with chlorine is XCl2.
