<span>The correct answer is that an ionic bond forms between charged particles. To form this bond, the particles transfer valence electrons (those in the outermost orbit). Specifically, in ionic bonding, the metal atom loses its electrons (thus becoming positive) and the nonmetal atom gains electrons (thus becoming negative).</span>
Answer:
n=N/Na
n = \frac{8.23 \times {10}^{22} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } = 0.1367 \: mol
answer: 0.14 mol
Explanation:
KMnO4 has the incorrect set of oxidation numbers. Whenever there is an alkali metal, it has an oxidation number of +1. As you can see, K is said to have an oxidation number of +2, so it is incorrect.
