Dear student,
It is given that;
X = metal
Y, Z = non-metals
We need to find the type of compounds the above two categories can form.
We know that compounds formed between metals and non-metals are ionic and the ones which are formed between two non-metals is a covalent compound. Using this concept, we have;
Case 1: What will be the type of compound formed by X and Y.
Answer: Ionic Compound.
Reason: They are formed by the gain/loss of electrons.
Case 2: What will be the compound formed by Y and Z.
Answer: Covalent Compound.
Reason: They are formed by the sharing of electrons.
