If an element in group 2 formed a compound with an element in group 17 of the periodic table, the compound formed is likely to
Options
- Aconduct electricity in the solid state
- Bhave a low boiling point
- Cdissolve in non-polar solvents
- Dbe a crystalline solid
Correct answer
D. be a crystalline solid
Step-by-step solution
The nature of the compound formed is crystalline solid due to presence of ionic bond. Since, X= metal and Y= non-metal. When the elements of group- 2 (metals) combines with those of group-17 (non-metals) by the transfer of electrons, an ionic bond is formed and compound formed is likely to be crystalline solid like NaCl .
