Question

In the formation of a compound XY2 atom X gives one electron to each Y atom. What is the nature of bond in XY2? Give two properties of XY2.

Answer 1

Answer:

The nature of bond is the electrovalent or ionic bond.

• The ionic bond has charge separation and so they are the most reactive of all the bonds in the proper medium.
• The ionic bonded molecules have high melting and boiling point.
• The ionic bonded molecules in their aqueous solutions or in the molten state are good conductors of electricity.
