Three elements X, Y and Z have atomic numbers 7, 8 and 9 respectively.
(a) Arrange them in the decreasing order of their atomic radii.
(b) Which of the three is most electronegative ? Why ?
(c) Write the formula of compound formed between
(i) X and Y
(ii) X and Z
Three elements X, Y and Z have atomic numbers 7, 8 and 9 respectively.
(a) Decreasing order of their atomic radii is X > Y > Z
(b) Z is most electronegative because it needs only one electron to attain stable configuration.
(c) Formula of compound formed between
(i) X and Y is X2Y3
(ii) X and Z is XZ3
