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)
Answer:
The cell reaction reaches equilibrium quickly and the cell emf becomes zero.
Explanation:
The purpose of a salt bridge is not to move electrons from the electrolyte, its main function is to maintain charge balance because the electrons are moving from one-half cell to the other.
A solution of a salt that dissociates easily is normally used. Water is ineffective at functioning as a salt bridge. Hence the effect stated in the answer.
Answer:A double convalescent bond is where two pairs of electrons are shared between the atoms rather than just one pair. Two oxygen atoms can both achieve stable structures by sharing two pairs of electrons as in the diagram.
Explanation:
1.94 * 6. 01 = 11.7 which is approximately same as 11 700. So the answer is 3).
