The electron configurations of two unknown elements are x and y. X: 1s2 2s2 2p6 Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 which statement is most likely correct about the two elements

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
