Answer 1

Answer:

In the formation of a compound XY2, atom X denotes one electron to each Y atom. Show the electron dot structure of X and Y and the formation of XY2 What is the nature of bond in XY2 ? Write any three properties of XY2. The electronic configurations of three elements X and Y are as follows :

X - 2, 8, 2 Y - 2, 7

Nature of bond in XY2 is ionic. Properties :

(i) Crystalline solids.

(ii) Melting and boiling point high..

(iii) Soluble in water, insoluble in organic solvents.

(iv) Conductor of electricity
