The valency of the Element X is 3
So,
There are in all 3 atoms in its valence shell.
Element X wants to lose 3 electrons to attain the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas.
Thus, it's valency will be 3+
Now ,
Oxygen has atomic number =8
The electronic configuration of Oxygen will be as follows :-
2,6
Now ,
The nearest noble gas is neon with electronic configuration :-
2,8
So,
Oxygen will require 2 more electrons to attain the noble gas configuration.
Thus,
It will gain 2 electrons.
Thus, valency of Oxygen will be 2-
When,
X and Oxygen will react it will form the oxide of Element X.
The chemical formula will be as follows :
