1.	In the formation of a compound XY_2, atom X donates one electron to each Y atom. Show theelectron dot structure of X and Y and the formation of XY_2 . What is the nature of bond in XY, ? Write any three properties of compound XY_2 . The electronic configurations of the elements X and Y are as follows:X-2,8,2Y-2,7
Answer» Solution : The nature of bonds in `XY_2`is ionic. Properties : (i) Ionic compounds have high MELTING and boiling points. (ii) Ionic compounds are generally soluble in WATER and insoluble in KEROSENE and petrol. (III) Solutions of ionic compounds conduct electricity. Molten STATE of such compounds also conductelectricity.
