Magnesium reacts with an element (X) to form an ionic compound. If the ground state electronic configuration of (X) is 1s2 2s2 2p3, the simplest formula for this compound is

  1. Mg2X3
  2. MgX2
  3. Mg2X
  4. Mg3X2

Answer

(4) Mg3X2

Solution

1s2 2s2 2p3 ⇒ X has 5 valence electrons (nitrogen); it gains 3 electrons to complete its octet ⇒ X3-

Mg loses 2 electrons ⇒ Mg2+

Balancing the charges: 3 (+2) = 2 (-3)

∴ Formula = Mg3X2 (like Mg3N2, formed when Mg burns in nitrogen)

Answer: (4)
