In an ionic compound the atoms are linked via ionic bonds. These are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge whereas the atom that accepts electrons gains a negative. This happens in accordance with the octet rule wherein each atom is surrounded by 8 electrons
In the given example:
The valence electron configuration of Iodine (I) = 5s²5p⁵
It needs only one electron to complete its octet.
In the given options:
K = 4s¹
C = 2s²2p²
Cl = 3s²3p⁵
P = 3s²3p³
Thus K can donate its valence electron to Iodine. As a result K, will gain a stable noble gas configuration of argon while iodine would gain an octet. This would also balance the charges as K⁺I⁻ creating a neutral molecule.
Ans: Potassium (K)
0.074Hz is the answer to that
The decay curve is a graph showing the relationship of the amount of a substance like Phosphorus-32 with respect to time. Through time, the amount decreases. If the curve was given, you will just have to locate the half of the original amount in the y-axis and connect it to the curve. Then, you move it downwards to the x-axis to determine the time. The time at which the amount of Phosphorus-32 left is reduced to half is called the half-life.
But this have been experimented and there is already an empirical value for this. The half-life of Phosphorus-32 is 14.29 days.
B
A qualitative observation describes the characteristics of a substance without quantifying them.
