(a)x is more metallic than y since y has one extra valence electron due to which attraction between the proton and electron is more  and size becomes smaller than that of x  and hence y is less metallic than x
(across a period metallic property decrease as size decreases and down a group metallic ppty increases as size increases)
(b)x valency 1 =x2o
y valency 2=yo
