Solution

X = $2, 8, 7$ . It is a non-metal with valency $1$ .
Y = .., $1$ . It is a metal with valency $1$ .
Part 2: Bond formation
X and Y have 7 and 1 electrons in their outermost shells respectively so Y loses its one electron and X gains that electron to attain noble gas configuration. A bond generated by the transfer of electrons from one element atom to another is called an Ionic bond.
So, this atom will form an Ionic bond.
