Question

the atomic numbers of elements H and M are 12 and 17 respectively. determine the molecular formula of the compound formed when these two elements react with each other. explain the type of bond formed between those two elements with the help of electron dot structure​

Answer 1

Explanation-

element B is Mg (magnesium)

element M is Cl (chlorine)

electronic configuration-

B - 2,8,2

M - 2,8,7

therefore Magnesium ion is Mg2+

& chloride ion is Cl1-

When Mg and Cl will react, they will form MgCl2 (magnesium chloride), This is an example of ionic bond as there is a metal giving electrons and a non metal taking electrons.
