Two elements X and Y have atomic numbers...

Two elements X and Y have atomic numbers 12 and 16 respectively. To which period of the modern periodic table do these two elements belong ? What type of bond will be formed between them and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electronic configuration of element X, atomic number 12 = 2,8,2
Electronic configuration of element Y, atomic numbers 16 = 2,8,6
Both have three shells, so they belong to period 3.
They will form ionic bond as X will form electropositive ion and Y will form electronegative ion.
