Answer:
Gas X
Explanation:
The given reaction can be written in the form of chemical equation as shown below as:
According to law of conservation of mass, the moles of each substance in the reaction must be equal on both reactant and product side.
Also, the question asks for the gas which is diatomic. cannot be diatomic as the formula contains 3 atoms.
Between gas X and gas Y , <u>X has to be diatomic for the reaction to balance </u>as:
Ionic bond is formed between positive and negative ions.
Positive ion is known as cation (electropositive metal)
Negative ion is known as anion ( electronegative non-metal)
The bond formed between a metal (positive ion) and non-metal (negative ions) is known as Ionic bond.
Ionic form is formed when one or more electrons from the valence shell of an atom (electropositive metal ) are completely transferred to the valence shell of another atom (electronegative non-metal). Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between oppositely charged atoms.
For example: Bond between NaCl(sodium chloride) is an ionic bond in which Na (sodium ) is positive ion(metal) which have +1 charge and Cl (chlorine) is negative ion(non-metal) which have -1 charge and the bond formed between Na+ and Cl- is ionic bond.
