Solution

The correct option is A Sodium fluoride
The atomic number of X is 11.
Electronic configuration of X is: 2,8,1
Therefore, element X is sodium.

The atomic number of Y is 9.
Electronic configuration of Y is: 2,7
Therefore, element Y is fluorine.

X loses one electron and Y gains one electron forming an ionic compound. Therefore, the compound formed by X and Y is sodium fluoride (NaF).
