Answer

$XY_{2}$ $SiO_{2}$ $SnO_{2}$ $PbO_{2}$

Work Step by Step

The first step to create a formula is to exchange the valency. Thus we get $X_{2}Y_{4}$ Then make the formula into a simple ratio. $XY_{2}$ $X^{4+}$ is an ion probably in group-14, Carbon family. $Y^{2-}$ is an ion probably in group-16, oxygen family. So most likely it would be $SiO_{2}$ $SnO_{2}$ $PbO_{2}$
