Ionic bond is a chemical bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons between two atoms. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge (cation) and that which accepts electrons gains a negative charge (anion). Now, electronegativity is a parameter that measures the tendency of an atom to accept electrons. In the context of ionic bonding, two elements which show a significant difference in their electronegativity values form ionic bonds.
In the given examples, the difference in electronegativity is greatest between K and Br i.e. 0.8 and 2.8 respectively with a difference of 2.0. This also makes sense since K and Br are on the extreme ends of the periodic table. Hence, potassium with a valence electron configuration of 4s1 will lose its s electron to Br (4s24p6) and form an ionic molecule K⁺Br⁻
Ans E) potassium and bromine
Answer:
Nuclear power comes from nuclear fission
Nuclear power plants use heat produced during nuclear fission to heat water. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Fission takes place inside the reactor of a nuclear power plan

Answer:
a
. eight tenths of her cookies
Explanation:
Let the total number of Lakesha's cookies be represented by x.
So that;
She gave three tenths to Bailey = 
of x
= 
She gave five tenths to Helen = 
of x
= 
Fraction of Lakesha's cookies given away = +
= 
= 
Thus, the fraction of cookies given away by Lakesha is 
.
