A compound has the formula H 2 Y (where, Y = non-metal) state the following Table A Table B (i) Electronic configuration ____________ (ii) Type of bonding ____________ (iii) Number of shared pair and lone pair ____________ (iv)Number of bonds in its molecule ____________

(i) The electronic configuration of Y can be 2 , 6 or 2 , 8 , 6 etc. (ii) In H 2 Y molecule, covalent bonding occur. (iii) Number of shared pair and lone pair of electrons is 4 and 2 . (iv) The number of bonds in its molecule is 2 . Table A Table B (i) Electronic configuration 2,6 or 2,8,6 (ii) Type of bonding covalent (iii) Number of shared pair and lone pair 4 and 2 (iv)Number of bonds in its molecule 2

What do you understand by a lone pair of electrons?

The pair of electrons that are left in the valence shell without forming covalent bonds are known as lone pairs of electrons. They affect the shape of the molecule and sometimes help in the formation of other molecules.

Give a reason for the following: Ionic compounds have a high melting point.

Ionic compounds have high melting point because, there is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions, that is, there is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the cation and the anion.
