Reaction between X and Y, forms compound Z. X loses electron and Y gains electron. Which of the following properties is not shown by Z?

Compound Z does not show the property of “Has low melting point”. As compound Z is formed because of transfer of electrons between X and Y, hence Z is an ionic compound. Such compounds do not have low melting point. Bonds in ionic compounds are very strong. Therefore, a lot of energy is needed to break them. This is the reason why ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
