I query this answer, because if X=2,8,3 then the valence electron will be 3
And likewise if Z=2,8,6 the valence electron will be 6 so it will be in this form
X Z
3 6 so we divide both side by 3 which will give us
X=1 and Z=2 then the answer will definitely be X2Z... Option C.. Please let me know if am wrong please
