1.	An element (X) which is the most abundant metal in the earth's crustand the third most abudant element, is extracted by the electrolysis of its fused oxide in melted cryolite and fluorspar. XCl_(3) exists as (XCl_(3))_(n) in crystalline state and is only dimeric (X_(2)Cl_(6)) in fused state X+3HCl+6H_(2)O to XCl_(3).6H_(2)O(s)+(3)/(2)H_(2) Anhydrous XCl_(3) fumes in moist air and is very hygroscopic When XCl_(3).6H_(2)O(s) is heated strongly, hte products formed are:
Answer» `XCl_(3) and H_(2)O` `X_(2)O_(3),HCL and H)_(2)O` `X(OH)_(3) and HCl` no effect Answer :B
