Question

Reaction between X and Y, forms compound Z. X loses electron and Y gains electron. Which of the following 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
WRITE THE ANSWER WITH REASON

Answer 1

Given that the compound X and Y form compound Z.

Here, X loses electron and Y gains electron meaning that an ionic or an electrovalent bond is formed. Thus, the compound Z is a crystalline solid, has high melting and boiling point. It conducts electricity in the molten state.

The compound Z cannot have a low melting point.

Hence, the correct option is B.



Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

Answer:

a) X and Z have high melting point as they are solid in nature.

b) Y is having low boiling point as it lies in gaseous or solid state.

c) Z conducts electricity in molten state because salt disassociate their ions in molten state.

d) X and z occurs as solid.
