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

  1. A conduct electricity in the solid state
  2. B have a low boiling point
  3. C dissolve in non-polar solvents
  4. D be a crystalline solid
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) be a crystalline solid

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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…
