Solution
- Position in the Periodic Table
- Element X: Placed in Period 3, Group 1 (Since it has 3 electron shells and 1 valence electron).
- Element Y: Placed in Period 3, Group 17 (Since it has 3 electron shells and 7 valence electrons).
- Type of Element (Metal/Nonmetal/Metalloid)
- Element X: It is a metal (specifically, an alkali metal that easily loses its 1 outer electron).
- Element Y: It is a nonmetal (specifically, a halogen that easily gains 1 electron).
- Block of the Periodic Table
- Element X: Belongs to the s-block (its outermost electron enters the s-orbital).
- Element Y: Belongs to the p-block (its outermost electrons enter the p-orbital).
- Electronic Configuration and Valency
- Element X (Atomic Number 11)
- Electronic Configuration: 2, 8, 1
- Valency: 1 (It loses 1 electron to achieve stability)
- Element Y (Atomic Number 17)
- Electronic Configuration: 2, 8, 7
- Valency: 1 (It needs to gain 1 electron to complete its octet of 8 electrons)
- Element X (Atomic Number 11)
