Two unknown elements react to a form a single compound. Element 1 is shiny, malleable, and conductive. Element 2 is a non-conductive gas. When they react, what would you expect to be true about the compound produced? (2a. / DOK 2) A.
The compound will probably have a low melting point and will not be conductive in solution because the compound will be covalent.

B.
The compound will probably have a high melting point and will be conductive in solution because the compound will separate into ions when dissolved in water.

C.
The compound will probably have a high melting point and will not be conductive in solution because the compound will not separate into ions when dissolved in water.

D.
The compound will probably have properties of both elements like a metalloid because the reactants properties will blend.
