An element 'X' forms a chloride with formula XCl 3
In the compound, both elements are shared electrons to form the chemical bonds.
Sharing of elements depends upon their combining capacity known as valency of the element.
Since we know that the valency of lithium, sodium magnesium aluminium and calcium is 1,1,2,3 and 2 respectively.
In this, there is three chlorine and we know that each chlorine required one electron to complete its shell.
So, the required element is Aluminium.
If its wrong I am extremely sorry!! If you could hav said the options then it would have been better.
Anyways if its wrong please comment and i will try and rectify it.
