Question

In the formation of compound between PAnd Q,P loses two electrons and Q gain one electron.(1)what is the nature of bond between Pand Q? (2)suggest the formula of the compound formed between P and Q​

Answer 1

Answer: Ionic bond and PQ2

Explanation:

Answer 2

(1) The nature of the bond is ionic bond.

(2) The formula of the compound formed between P and Q is $\bold{PQ_2}$

Explanation:

1. From question, we know that there is transfer of electrons between two atoms. The electronic configuration of the atoms differ and there is large difference in the electronegativities of the atoms. The bond formed between the atoms of the different electronegativity is called ionic bond.
2. The atom 'P' loses 2 electrons and atom 'Q' gains one electron. So, the formula of the compound is $\bold{PQ_2}$
