The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the properties of element Y, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Elements We know that X, Y, and Z are consecutive elements. Let's denote: - X = Fluorine (F) - Y = Oxygen (O) - Z = Neon (Ne) ### Step 2: Determine the Isoelectronic Condition According to the question, when X (Fluorine) gains one electron, and Y (Oxygen) gains two electrons, both become isoelectronic with Z (Neon). - Fluorine (F) has an atomic number of 9. When it gains one electron, it becomes F⁻ with an atomic number of 10, which is isoelectronic with Neon (Ne). - Oxygen (O) has an atomic number of 8. When it gains two electrons, it becomes O²⁻ with an atomic number of 10, which is also isoelectronic with Neon (Ne). ### Step 3: Analyze the Atomic Numbers - Atomic number of X (Fluorine) = 9 - Atomic number of Y (Oxygen) = 8 - Atomic number of Z (Neon) = 10 ### Step 4: Evaluate the Properties of Element Y Now, we need to evaluate the properties of element Y (Oxygen) based on its position in the periodic table: 1. **Atomic number of Y is higher than atomic number of Z**: This is false because Y (Oxygen) has an atomic number of 8, which is less than Z (Neon) with an atomic number of 10. 2. **Atomic number of Y is higher than atomic number of X**: This is false because Y (Oxygen) has an atomic number of 8, which is less than X (Fluorine) with an atomic number of 9. 3. **Element Y is placed in the periodic table at the left side of element X if both are in the same period**: This is true because in the periodic table, Oxygen (Y) is to the left of Fluorine (X) in the same period (2nd period). ### Conclusion Based on the analysis, the correct property of element Y is that it is placed in the periodic table at the left side of element X (Fluorine). ### Final Answer Element Y will have the property that it is placed in the periodic table at the left side of element X if both are in the same period. ---
