1.	(i) By the transfer of electrons, illustrate the formation of bond in magnesium chloride and identify the ions present in this compound. (ii) Ionic compounds are are solids. Give reasons. (iii) With the help of a labelled diagram show the experimental set up of action of steam on a metal.
Answer» Solution :(i) (II) Ionic COMPOUNDS are solids because of strong force of attraction between POSITIVE and negative IONS. (iii) EXPERIMENTAL set up is shown as under:
