Question

atomic number of the element B andM are 12 and 17 respectivily dertermines the molecular formula of the compound formed when these two element react with each other examplain the type of bond formed between these two element with the help of electron dot structure​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Element B is Magnesium(Mg) with an electronic configuration = 2, 8, 2

Element M is Chlorine(Cl) with an electronic configuration = 2, 8, 7

The compound formed is   $MgCl_{2}$

It forms an ionic bond as the transfer of electrons is taking place.

It's electron dot structure is:
