    Magnesium reacts with an element (X) to form an ionic compound. If the ground state electronic configuration of (X) is\[1{{s}^{2}}\text{ }2{{s}^{2}}\text{ }2{{p}^{3}}\], the simplest formula for this compound is [NEET - 2018]

    A)  \[\text{M}{{\text{g}}_{\text{2}}}\text{X}\]            

    B)  \[\text{Mg}{{\text{X}}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[\text{M}{{\text{g}}_{2}}{{\text{X}}_{3}}\]                   

    D)  \[\text{M}{{\text{g}}_{3}}{{\text{X}}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Sol. Element (X) electronic configuration \[1{{s}^{2}}\text{ }2{{s}^{2}}\text{ }2{{p}^{3}}\] So, valency of X will be 3. Valency of Mg is 2. Formula of compound formed by Mg and X will be\[\text{M}{{\text{g}}_{\text{3}}}{{\text{X}}_{\text{2}}}\].
