All those compounds are ionic.

Then they dissociate into ions when they are in water.

I will write the dissociation equations. The charges of the ions is indicated inside parenthesis.

KI -> K (+) + I (-) => two ions

K2SO4 -> 2 k(+) + SO4 (2-) -> three ions

NaCl -> Na(+) + Cl(-) => two ions

KBr -> K(+) + Br(-)

As you se every molecule of the compound K2SO4 dissociates into three ions, while the other compounds dissociate into two ions. Given that the decrase in the freezong point of water is proportional to the number of particles dissolved, the K2SO4 will lower the freezing point the most.

Answer: option B. K2SO4

Aluminum ions have a charge of +3. This means that the atoms have three more protons than electrons. In order to add electrons to aluminum ions, the purification process therefore requires a large amount of electricity.

Uncharged Aluminum atom must need to lose it's electrons,in order to form the bond with oxygen which has vacant orbitals

ion
atom that has a positive or negative charge because it lost or gained one or more electrons

chemical bond
the attractive force that holds atoms or ions together

ionic bond
a chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron and the other atom gains electrons to form ions

chemical formula
a combination of chemical symbols and numbers to represent a substance

covalent bond
bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms
