Question

An element P has electrons in valence shells and the element Q . The element Q has atomic number 12. 1- Give valency of P &Q . 2- Write formula formed between P &Q .3- what type of formed . 4- Show electron dot structure of a molecule of P​

Answer 1

Answer:

Valence electrons in P is 2; Valence electrons in Q is 6.

P−2e

−

→P

2+

Q+2e

−

→Q

2−

Since both show a valency of 2, the formula for the compound will be PQ.
