Detailed Solution

Properties not shown by Z have low melting points.
The compound Z is formed when X and Y react with each other in which X loses electrons and Y gains electrons; thus, the product formed is an ionic compound in this type of reaction. Hence Z is an ionic compound that is formed as a product. Ionic compounds usually have high melting points and occur as a solid. Electricity can flow through molten ionic substances. Hence the statement that ionic compounds have a low melting point is incorrect.
