Answer:
The answer to the question is Z is more reactuve than X
Explanation:
The Electronic Config. of element X would be
2,8,8
Which means that all the shells are filled completely and would not react at all therefore it is a inert gas.
But the electronic config. of element Z would Be
2,8,6
Which means that the element requires two more electrons to completely fill it's Outermost shell therefore the element is non-metal and will react with other elements to form covelant bonds
Therefore Z is more reactive than X
