properties of ionic compounds are -: they are generally hard due to their strong attraction
-:they are soluble in water but insoluble in solvents like petrol.

Answer 2

elements 'X' and 'Y' belong to groups 1 and 17 of the periodic table respectively.what will be the nature of bond in the compound 'XY'?give 2 properties of'XY'

Explanation:

Element X is either hydrogen or an alkali metal.

Element Y is one of the halogens

The compound XY will be bonded with an ionic bond where the element X donates electrons and element Y accepts them

Properties of XY

If X is hydrogen, then XY will be

-acidic in nature

-Volatile

-Corrosive

If X is an alkali metal, XY will be

-A salt

-Neutral in nature
