Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 147
Question: An element X with the electronic configuration $ 1s^{2},,2s^{2}2p^{6},,3s^{2} $ would be expected to form the chloride with the formula [JIPMER 2000]
Options:
A) $ XCl_3 $
B) $ XCl_2 $
C) $ XCl $
D) $ X_2Cl $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
This X element is a second group element so its chloride will be $ XCl_2 $ .
