Reaction' between X and Y, forms compound Z. X loses electron and Y gains electron. Which of the following properties is not shown by Z?

Has high melting point

Has low melting point

Conducts electricity in molten state

Occurs as solid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons. Ionic compound conduct electricity in their molten state, occur as solid and have high melting and boiling points. Low melting point is not the character of ionic compounds. Compound Z is formed because of transfer of electrons from X to Y, this means Z is an ionic compound which could not have low melting point.
