Question

Assertion (A): MgCl2, is a covalent 1 compound.
Reason (R): MgCl2, is a good conductor of electricity in molten state.
1-Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
2-Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.
3- Ais true but R is false.
4- A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Answer:

Magnesium chloride is a covalent compound is false. The statement, MgCl2 is a good conductor of electricity in molten state is true. So, assertion is false and the reason is true.

Explanation:

1. Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound. It is formed between the magnesium and chloride ions. When magnesium transfers its 2 electrons to the chlorine atom, magnesium cation (Mg+2) and chloride anion (Cl-) are formed and they combine to form an ionic compound.

     2. Covalent compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms. In the given question, transfer of electrons takes place between the magnesium and chloride . So, Mgcl2 is not a covalent compound.

   3. Ionic compounds conduct electricity in a molten state due to the presence of free electrons. So, the reason (R) given in the question is correct.

Therefore, assertion (A) is wrong while Reason (R) is correct. So, option 4 is the correct option.
