Consider the Born-Haber cycle for the formation of an ionic compound, given below and identify the compound \((Z)\) forme(d)

- A \(M^{+} X^{-}\)
- B \(M^{-} X^{-}(s)\)
- C \(M X\)
- D \(M^{+} X^{-}(g)\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(M^{+} X^{-}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The ionic compound formed is \(M^{+} X^{-}(s)\) as the gaseous ions \(\left[M^{+}(g)\right.\) and \(\left.\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(g)\right]\) combines in the crystal lattice which is in solid state.
