(a) Show the formation of aluminium ion and chloride ion by transfer of electrons.
(b) State the formula and the nature of compound formed if electron transfer takes place between the two .
(c) State with reason any three characteristics of the compounds formed by transfer of electrons.
(a) Formation of aluminium ion and chloride ion by transfer of electrons-
(b) Formula is AlCl3 and Nature of compound is Ionic comound.
(c) Three characteristics of the compounds formed by transfer of electrons are -
i Hard and solid -Due to strong force of attraction between the positive and negative ions.
ii. High melting and boiling points - Because igh aout of energy th break the stron inter - ionic attraction.
iii.Good conductor of electricity in molten state -It contains ions.
