Element X is a metal with valancy 2 .Element Y is a non metal with a valency 3. write equations to show how X and Y frons ions??

Dear Student
The element X loses 2 electrons and  
form a cation X2+
The element Y gains 3 electrons and form an anion Y3-.
X X2+  +  2e-Y  +  3e- Y3-

The element X will lose 2 electrons and become a cation and form X2+.
The element Y will gain 3 electrons and become an anion and form Y3-.

X ------> X2 + 2e-
Y3- ------> Y + 3e-

hope this helps.
