MCQ
Two elements $X$ and $Y$have following electronic configurations $X = 1{s^2},\,\,2{s^2}\,2{p^6},\,\,3{s^2}3{p^6},\,\,4{s^2}$ and $Y = 1{s^2},\,\,2{s^2}\,2{p^6},\,\,3{s^2}3{p^5}$. The expected compound formed by combination of $X$ and $Y$ is
  • $X{Y_2}$
  • B
    ${X_5}{Y_2}$
  • C
    ${X_2}{Y_5}$
  • D
    $X{Y_5}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$X{Y_2}$
(a) From electronic configuration valencies of $X$ and $Y$ are $+ 2$ and $-1$ respectively so formula of compound is $X{Y_2}$.
