  • A \(M X\)
  • B \(M_{3} X_{4}\)
  • C \(M_{4} X_{3}\)
  • D \(M_{3} X_{2}\)
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Metal \(M ^{3+}\) (Trivalent)
\(X ^{-4}\) (Tetravalent)
\(M\) is having 3-electrons in its quterm shellewill donate 3-electrons in 4 folds to form an octet with \(X\) in 3-folds, to form \(M _4 X _3\)
