Hi.
Here is your answer-------
Electronic configuration for X(6) = 2,4
-----------------------------------Y(9) = 2,7
-----------------------------------Z(12) = 2,8,2
A -----From the electronic configuration, we can see that Y can easily form anions because it wants only one electrons to complete its octet. Also, X can form anions but not more readily than Y
B------ From the electronic configuration, we can see that cations will be formed by Y as it has valency 2 thus it can lose electron.
Elements X has a tetra valency, it can form both ions as well as anions
Elements Z will neither form cations or anions as its octet is complete and it is stable. It is a Noble or Inert gas.
Hope it will help u.
Have a nice day.
