Born-Fajans-Haber Cycle Suppose a chemist discovers a new metallic element and names it Xhaustium (Xh). Xh exhibits chemical behaviour similar to an alkaline earth.
xh(s) + Cl₂(g) → xhCl₂(s)
A) Xhaustium chloride is highly soluble in water.
B) Xhaustium is a reactive metal, forming a stable chloride.
C) Xhaustium chloride is a covalent compound.
D) Xhaustium readily reacts with chlorine to form Xhaustium chloride.
