Answer 1

$\mathbb \pink{ANSWER}$⬇️

Two elements X and y have atomic number 12 and 17 respectively:

(a) Write the electronic configuration of both!

1. 2,8,2
2. 2,8,7

(b) Which type of bond will they form?

1. IONIC BOND

[is electrostatic in nature. Electron dot diagrams can be used to illustrate electron movements and ion formation.]

(c) Write the formula of the compound formed by their combination (in terms of X and y).

1. XY² => MgCl2

Answer 2

Question :-

Two elements X and Y have atomic number 12 and 17 respectively:

(a) Write the electronic configuration of both!

Answer :-

$\sf{Electronic \ configuration \ of \ X} \rightarrow \bold{2,8,2}\\\sf{Electronic \ configuration \ of \ Y} \rightarrow \bold{2,8,7}$

Question :-

(b) Which type of bond will they form?

Answer :-

Ionic bond will form as one atom of X will transfer 1 electron each to two atoms of Y.

Question :-

(c) Write the formula of the compound formed by their combination (in terms of X and y).

Answer :-

The formula of the compound formed by their combination ( in terms of X and Y ) is XY₂ which is clearly known as Magnesium Chloride i.e. MgCl₂
