Element X' forms a chloride with the formula XCI2, which is a solid with high melting point. X would most likely be in the same group of the periodic table as:
- Si
- Mg
- Al
- Na
Correct Answer: (b) Mg
Explanation: Element Na form XCl halide. Mg forms XCl2, Al forms XCl3, and Si forms XCl4 halide. As an element, X forms a chloride with the formula XCl2, hence the correct option is Magnesium.
