Answer:
Option d) X2O3
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
The electronic configuration of the element X => [He]3s23p1
Now, let us write the electronic configuration of oxygen. This is given below:
O(8) => 1s2 2s2 2p4
Considering the electronic configuration of the element X, we can the element has 3 electrons in the outermost shell. Oxygen on the other hand has 2 electrons in the outermost shell. During bonding, there will be exchange of ion as shown below:
X³ + O²¯—> X2O3
So, the formula of the most probable ionic compound that this element will form with O is X2O3
