Two elements P and Q combine to form a compound. If P has 2 and Q has 6 electrons in their outermosrt shell, what will be formula of the compound formed ?A. PQB. `P_(2)Q`C. `P_(2)Q_(3)`D. `PQ_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Valence electrons in P is 2, Valence electrons in Q is 6 .
`P - 2e^(-) to P^(2+)`
`Q + 2e^(-) to Q^(2-)`
Since both show a valency of 2, the formula for the compound will be PQ.
