Solution
- M is an element from group IIA, so it is metal and X is from VIIA, so it is non-metal.
- Thus, the nature of the compound is ionic.
- Hence, the formula of the compound formed is MX2 since the electrovalency of M is 2 and X is 1.
- Example - CaCl2, here Calcium (Ca) belongs to the IIA group and Chlorine (Cl) belongs to the VIIA group.
