The most likely bond between element X and Iodine would be an ionic, or electrovalent, bond. Iodine has seven electrons in its outer shell, also known as the valence shell. To become perfectly stable, it needs only a single electron from another element. Hence no sharing of electron takes place (usually), which is the condition required for it to be covalent bonding. Hence it's most likely an ionic bonding/
Answer:
Column 17 halogens
Explanation:
To answer the question we need to know the following;
What are valence electrons?
- Valence electrons are outermost electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom of any element.
What are halogens?
- Halogens are group 7 elements that have seven valence electrons. They include, chlorine, fluorine, iodine, etc
What is the reactivity of halogens?
- Halogens are the most reactive non-metals in the periodic table. They react by gaining one electron to attain a stable configuration.
Boiling point<span> is the </span>temperature<span> at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the surrounding pressure.
Above boiling point point, liquid get converted into vapour.
Now, boiling point of water is 100 oC at room pressure. Room pressure is equal to 760 torr. Thus, at 100 oC, vapour pressure of water becomes equal to 760 torr.
Now, if external pressure is increased to 880 torr, more heat is to be supplied so that vapour pressure of water equals 880 torr.
So, at 880 torr, boiling point of water will be more than 100 oC. In present case, most like the boiling point of water is equal to 105 oC.
