Answer:
The answer to your question is given below.
Explanation:
Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.
Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.
Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.
Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.

Answer:
<span>D) combine light nuclei
</span>
Explanation:
Fission and fusion both deal with the alteration of atoms in order to produce energy. However, they are actually opposite processes, this is because:
1- Fission occurs when an atomic nucleus is split/divided into two forming two atoms
2- Fusion occurs when two light atomic nuclei combine together to form a single atom.
Hope this helps :)
