Question

The atomic no. of three elements X,Y,Z are (a-2), a and (a+1) respectively. Among them, Y is an inert element. Which of them has the highest electronegativity ? Ionisation potential of which is the highest ? Write the formula and nature of bond of the compound formed by X and Z.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ohh nice question ,

Explanation:

if a is a inert element then it must have 8 electrons in its valence shell so, let atomic number of Y be 10

so , atomic number of X will be 8 and that of Z will be 11

so as we know I.P increase left to right and decrees down the group so IP will me maximum of X since Inert gases have 0 I.P.

E.N of X will be maximum

Valency of X =-2

valency of Z =+1

so, formula will be XZ2

nature of compound ionic compund.
