The general formula of the compound formed when a metal \((M)\) of group 1 reacts with non-metal \((X)\) of group 16 is

  1. A \(M X_6\)
  2. B \(M_2 X_3\)
  3. C \(M X_2\)
  4. D \(M_2 X\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(M_2 X\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Group 1 elements \((M)\) have electronic configuration of outermost shell as \(n s^1\) and the group 16 elements \((X)\) have electronic configuration of outermost shell as \(n s^2 n p^4\), where ' \(n\) ' is the principal quantum number of outermost shell. \(M\) is strong…
