(a) Where in the periodic table are elements X and Y placed?
(b) Classify X and Y as metal (s), non-metal (s) or metalloid (s).
(c) What will be the nature of oxide of element Y? Identify the nature of bonding in the compound formed.
(d) Draw the electron dot structure of the divalent halide.
(a)X is in Group 17, period 3 and Y is in group 2 Period 4.
(b)X is Non-metal and Y is metal.
(c)Y's Oxide will be basic in nature as it is a metal. The nature of bonding in the compound formed is ionic bonding.
