This chart shows characteristics of three different types of atoms. which statement is best supported by the information in the chart?

Atom X will accept electrons from atom Y

Explanation:

The outermost shell of an atom is full when it contains 8 valence electrons (except for the first shell, which only contains 2 electrons). Therefore, any atom tends to accept electrons if it's very close to complete the shell with 8 electrons, or to donate electrons if it has only a few electrons in its outest shell.

In this case, we have:

- Atom X: 6 valence electrons --> it tends to accept electrons, since it needs only 2 of them to complete the shell

- Atom Y: 2 valence electrons --> it tends to donate electrons, so it has its outermost shell completed also

- Atom Z: 8 valence electrons --> it has no tendency in donate/accept electrons, since its outermost shell is already full

Therefore, atom Y will donate its 2 valence electrons to atom X, so that both of them have their outermost shell completed.

probably not the "magnets"in the magnet, so to speak, are thought to be electrons orbiting in shells. vurrent loops two sides to the loop
