Solution

The correct option is A
Both statements are true and Statement 1 is the correct explanation of Statement 2.

Ionic bond is formed when the positive and negative ions come together. The strong electrostatic forces of attraction between these positive and negative ions make the bond stronger which results in high melting and boiling point.

Q. In an ionic bond, the two oppositely charged ions are held together by strong electrostatic force of attraction.

Q. Assertion :Ionic compounds have high melting points. Reason: Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the ions. Therefore, it requires a lot of energy to overcome these forces.

Q. Chemical compounds in which anions and cations are held together by electrostatic force of attraction are known as ionic compounds. Cations and anions are charged species which are formed by losing and gaining electron(s) respectively to attain the nearest noble gas configuration or stability. Usually metals lose their valence electrons to form cations while non-metals accept electrons and form anions. Being held by a strong electrostatic force of attraction between ions, ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.

(iii) To form an ionic compound Z, element Y accepts two electrons from X. Which of the following properties is not shown by Z?
