1.	The atomic number of an element X is 8 and that of element Y is 12. Write down the symbols of the ions you would expect to be formed from their atoms. Lakhmir Singh Chemistry Class 10
Answer» X = 8 (2,6)=oxygenElement Y = 12 (2,8,2)=magnesiumElement X will have the ionic charge of X2- WHEREAS ELEMENT Y will have the ionic charge of X2+
