Question

An element X is divelent and element Y is tetravalent find the compound between X and Y

Answer 1

Answer:

The given problem can be solved using the concepts of bond formation.

1. It is given that element X is divalent. A divalent ion implies the element has a charge

of 2 units. The valency of X is 2 units.

2. The element Y is tetravalent. A tetravalent ion implies the element has a charge of 4 units. The valency of Y is 4 units.

3. According to the concepts of bond formation, If the valency of an element is x and the valency of another element is y. The compound formed by the two elements is Ay Br

4. Using the property mentioned above, the valency of one element is 2 and the valency of the other element is 4. Hence the compound formed by them will be,

=> X4Y₂ (OR) X₂Y.

Therefore, the compound formed by the two elements is X2Y. Option C is the correct answer.
