MCQ
An element $X$ with the electronic configuration $1{s^2},\,2{s^2}2{p^6},\,3{s^2}$ would be expected to form the chloride with the formula
  • A
    $XC{l_3}$
  • $XC{l_2}$
  • C
    $XCl$
  • D
    ${X_2}Cl$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$XC{l_2}$
(b) This $X$ element is a second group element so its chloride will be $XC{l_2}$.
