MCQ
Predict the formula of a compound formed between a metal 'M' which has 1st, 2nd, 3rd IP values as 518, 7314, 9820KJmol−1 respectively and a halogen 'X'.
  • A
    MX2​
  • B
    M2​​X3​
  • C
    MX3
  • D
    MX

Answer

  1. MX

Explanation:

Alkali metals have low first ionization energies and relatively higher second and third ionization energies because the electron have to be remover from a stable octet.

As in the given question, there is more difference in the values of first and second ionization energies i.e. the metal has 1 valence electron,

∴ formula of the compound will be MX.
