Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Element X is placed in group 14. Therefore, its electronic configuration is 2,8,4
`:.` Number of valence electron is 4
Further, since it is difficult to lose all the four valence electrons or gain four more electron configuration of the nearest inert gas
Thus, the nature of the chloride of element X is covalent. It chloride will be `XCl_(4)`
