Question

[h] The representation below shows the outline formation of an electrovalent compound.
Х
If the atomic number of element X is 11 and of element Y is 17 -
[] State why an electron is transferred from X to y during the formation of XY.
Give a reason why electrons are not shared between X and Y during the formation of XY
(in) State the difference between X and Xit.
[iv] Does Y - have a stable or an unstable electronic configuration
[v] If a compound is formed from atom A[ at. no. 19 ) and an atom Y [ at. no. 171, would the
compound AY be an electrovalent or covalent compound. Give reasons
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) to attain stability x loses an electron and y gains an electron

2) because x is metal and y is non-metal so sharing(covalent bond) cannot be done

3) I can't understand your question

4) unstable electronic configuration
