A metal combines with a non-metal by the transfer of electrons to form a compound Y.(i) State the type of bonds in Y.
(ii) What can you say about its melting point and boiling point?
(iii) Will it be a good conductor of electricity?
(iv) Will it dissolve in an organic solvent or not?
(i) The type of bonds in Compound Y is an Ionic bond as it is formed by the transfer of electrons.
(ii) High melting point and boiling point as it has strong intermolecular forces between them.
(iii) Yes, it will be a good conductor of electricity because of the presence of ions in it.
(iv) No, it will not dissolve in an organic solvent because of its ionic nature.
