Question
Write the formula of the product formed when the element A (atomic number 19) combines with the element B (atomic number 17). Draw its electronic dot structure. What is the nature of the bond formed?

Answer
Electronic configuration of element A(Z = 19) is 2, 8, 8, 1.
Electronic configuration of element B(Z = 17) is 2, 8, 7.
The element A has one valence electron while the element B has seven electrons in its valence shell. One electron gets transferred from the atom of element A to the atom of element B. As a result of electron transfer, an ionic bond is formed.
Electronic configuration of element B(Z = 17) is 2, 8, 7.
The element A has one valence electron while the element B has seven electrons in its valence shell. One electron gets transferred from the atom of element A to the atom of element B. As a result of electron transfer, an ionic bond is formed.
