Answer:

Element X has valency 2 while Y Valency 2, element Y has high tendency of gaining electrons for its stability thus the compound formed will be B

elements X is positively charged while Y will be negatively charged

The groups or the families in the periodic table are denoted by the vertical column. Element in group 2 and 7 forms compound with ions X²⁺ and Y⁻. Thus, option B is correct.

What is the periodic group?

A group of the periodic table is also called a family that has the elements placed togther with the same number of the valence electron. Group II has two valence electrons and VII has seven valence electrons in the outer shells.

The two valence electrons of the atom can be donated easily compared to acquiring the six electrons to complete the octet and stability. Similarly, the seven valence electrons are hard to donate but can accept one electron to achieve satbility.

The group II element X will donate its two electrons to acquire a +2 charge, whereas group VII element Y will accept one electron and acquire a -1 charge.

Therefore, option B.  X²⁺ and Y⁻ presents the ions of the compound.
