The electron configurations of two unknown elements X and Y

Last updated: 7/23/2022

The electron configurations of two unknown elements X and Y are shown. X: 1s²2s²2p6 Y: 1s22s22p63s23p6 Which statement is most likely correct about the two elements? (1 point) They will not react because both will give up one electron to become stable. They will react because X and Y can share two pairs of electrons to become stable. They will react because X can give up two electrons and Y needs two electrons to become stable. They will not react because both have a complete outermost shell and are stable.
