Question

Solve the question given in the attachment. Thanks in advance. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think X would hold a positive charge as it needs to donate on electron to become stable

2- As it holds positive charge, therefore it might be a reducing agent...

Answer 2

Hello di !

a) Element X has electronic configuration 2,8,18,8,1so it has tendency to loose one electron and complete octet so it will form X+ ion in general with charge of+1.

b) X will be a strong reducing agent as it will have the tendency to denote its valence electron.
