The atoms of X lose electrons whereas the atoms of Y gain electrons. Thus, there is transfer of electrons from atoms of X to atoms of Y. The bond formed by the transfer of electrons is called ionic bond. Therefore, the nature of bond in the compound XY is ionic.

 Properties of ionic compound XY:
(i) The compound will be soluble in water.
(ii) The compound will conduct electricity when dissolved in water or inmolten state.

What is the significance of the terms - ‘isolated gaseous atom’ and ‘ground state’ while defining the ionization enthalpy and electron gain enthalpy?

Ionization enthalpy is the energy required to remove an electron from an isolated gaseous atom in its ground state. Although the atoms are widely separated in the gaseous state, there...

The compound AgF2 is an unstable compound. However, if formed, the compound acts as a very strong oxidizing agent. Why?

The oxidation state of Ag in AgF2 is +2. But, +2 is an unstable oxidation state of Ag. Therefore, whenever AgF2 is formed, silver readily accepts an electron to form...

How would you account for the following: (i) NCl3 is an endothermic compound while NF3 is an exothermic one.

(i) This is because of (a) bond dissociation enthalpy of F2 is lower than Cl2 and (b) fluorine forms stronger bond with nitrogen due to comparable size. (ii) As xenon is...
