Solution

The correct option is D None of the above
Valency is the combining capacity of one element with the other. If the number of valence electrons is 1, 2, 3, 4 then the valency is the same as the number of electrons.

If the number of electrons is more than 4 then the valency is 8-(no. of outermost electrons). The electronic configuration of X is 2, 3. The electronic configuration of Y is 2, 6. The electronic configuration of Z is 2, 8, 5. The atomic number is the number of protons and the mass number is the sum of both protons and neutrons.

X

Y

Z

Valency (no. of electrons in outer shell that can be lost)

3

3, 5

Atomic no.(no. of protons)

5

8

15

Mass no.(sum of protons and neutrons)

11

18

31
