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. |
