The formula of a metal oxide is MO. Then write the formula of its chloride.

Answer»
  • The valency of oxide is 2 i.e., O-2. 
  • The formula of a metal oxide is given as MO. 
  • Hence the valency of the given metal must be 2 i.e., M+2. 
  • Valency of chloride is 1 i.e., C- . 
  • Therefore according to criss -cross method, the formula of given metal chloride will be MCl2 .
