Element X reacts with element Y to form a compound Z. During the formation of compound Z atoms of X lose one electron each whereas atoms of Y gain one electron each. Which of the following property is not shown by compound Z?

(a) High melting point

(b) Low melting point

(c) Occurrence as solid

(d) Conduction of electricity in the molten state.

Solution:

Option (b) is the answer. Because it is created by the gain of electrons, compound Z is an ionic compound. As a result, it has a very high melting point.
