Answer:
1. (i) (a) X is in Group 17, period 3 and Y is in group 2. period 4
(b)X is a non-metal,wheareas Y is a metal
(c)Oxide of elements Y would be basic.This compound is formed by ionic bond.
(ii) The increasing order of the metallic character is: Ge The electron dot structure of the divalent halide is given below
