1. Question⇒   A compound 'z' is formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal 'x' to a non metal 'y'. Identify the type of bond formed in the compound. List three general properties of the compound formed by such type of bonds.

Explanation:

• The bond formed is an electrovalent or ionic bond. Compounds formed by this type of bonding have the following characteristics:
• i)The solutions of these compounds conducts electricity due to the presence of free moving ions in the solution.
• ii)The compounds are soluble in polar solvents such as water and insoluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene.
• iii)The ionic bonds are strong hence ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
