Answer #1

Answer: Here we have to obseve that the bond formation without hybridization means there is no mixing

so In A] the 3S2 is full and there is no unpaired electrons hence in Mg : 3S2 there is no bond without hybridization

part B: Here we have one unpaired electrons and 3 lone pair and hence it can form 1 bond and 0 zero

part C: Al: 3S3P1 it has one lone pair and one unpaired electrons hence it can make 1 bond
