A) \[XC{{l}_{3}}\]
B) \[XC{{l}_{2}}\]
C) \[XCl\]
D) \[{{X}_{2}}Cl\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Electronic configuration of \[X=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}\] From the electronic configuration, it is clear that this element has tendency to loose \[{{e}^{-}}\] electron to complete its octet. Hence, it will combine with 2 chloride ions to form chloride with form chloride with formula\[XC{{l}_{2}}\].You need to login to perform this action.
