Question

Q6. Reaction between X and Y, forms compound Z. X loses electron
and Y gains electron. Which of the given properties is not shown by
Z?
a. Has high melting point
b. Has low melting point
c. Conducts electricity in molten state
d. Occurs as solid​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Reaction between X and Y, forms compound Z. X loses electron

and Y gains electron. Which of the given properties is not shown by Z?

a. Has high melting point

b. Has low melting point ✔

c. Conducts electricity in molten state

d. Occurs as solid

Explaination :-

X loses electron. It means, X is electropositive ( i.e, metal )

And

Y gains electron. It means, Y is electronegative ( i.e, non-metal )

As we know that :-

• Compound formed between metal and non-metal are ionic compounds.

It means,

Z is ionic compound.

And we know that, ionic compound has high melting point, conducts electricity in molten state and solid in nature.

Hence,

Option B is correct.
