The correct option is C CX4
Element X has a ground-state valence electron configuration of
ns2np5. It will share one electron to complete its octet.
Thus, it will form one covalent bond. C atom shares 4 electrons to
complete its octet. Hence, C atom forms 4 covalent bonds. Thus, one C
atom will combine with 4 X atoms. aThe formula of the carbon compound most likely to be formed is CX4.
