In the formation of the compound AB, atoms of A lost one electron each while stoms of B gained one electron each. What is the nature of bond in AB? Predict the two properties of AB.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, the atoms of A lose electrons whereas the atoms of B gain electrons. This means that there is a transfer of electrons from atoms of A to atoms of B. now, the bond formed by the transfer of electrons is called ionic bond. So, the nature of bond in the compound AB is ionic. the two properties of the ionic compound AB will be :(i) it will be soluble in water, and (ii) it will conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted..
