Question
Element X is a metal with a valency 2. Element Y is a non metal with a valency 3.
(a) Write equations to show how X and Y form ions.
(b) If Y is a diatomic gas, write the equation for the direct combination of X and Y to form a compound.

Solution
(a) For element X :
X → X2 + 2e-
For element Y :
Y + 3e- → Y3-
(b) Since Y is a diatomic gas hence it combines with X as :
3X + Y2 → X3Y2
