Valence electrons in the element AA are 33 and that in element BB are 66. Most probable compound formed from AA and BB is

Options

  1. AA2B{A}_{2}B
  2. BAB2{AB}_{2}
  3. CA6B3{A}_{6}{B}_{3}
  4. DA2B3{A}_{2}{B}_{3}

Correct answer

D. A2B3{A}_{2}{B}_{3}

Step-by-step solution

Valence electrons in A=3A = 3

Valence electron in B=6B = 6

Thus, AA is electropositive and BB is electronegative, AA can lose three electrons and BB can gain two electrons to attain stable configuration.

Hence, AA exist as A3+A^{3 +} and BB as B2−B^{2 -}

∴∴ Compound formed is A2B3{A}_{2}{B}_{3}
