Question

Two elements X and Y have atomic numbers 12 and 16 respectively. To which period of
the modern periodic table do these two elements belong? What type of bond will be formed between them and why? Also give the chemical formula of the compound formed.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x- 2,8,2

2nd group

3rd period

y-2,8,6

16th group

3rd period

Explanation:

X And Y belong to 3rd period

They will have an ionic bond due to the transfer of electrons between a metal and a non metal.

X. Y

2. 2

Formula XY

Answer 2

Answer:

X belongs to 2nd group (Magnesium) and 3rd period.

Y belongs to 16th group (Sulphur) and 3rd period.

An ionic bond will be formed by X and Y

,i.e., XY.

as a metal and a non metal combine together, where the metal loses its electrons and the non metal will accept.

Thus, transfer of Electrons take place.

XY - MgS (Magnesium Sulphide)

i.e., (Mg²+)[S²-]
