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.

Which too factors determine whether a collision between two reactant molecules will result in a reaction? select all that apply.

Answer:

The particles must be in the correct orientation upon impact.

The particles must collide with enough energy to meet the activation energy of the reaction.

Explanation:

This a problem related to chemical kinetics. The collision theory is one of the theories of reaction rates and it perfectly explains how the effectiveness of colliding molecules dictates the pace of a reaction.

For reactions to occur, there must be collisions between reacting particles. It implies that the collision per unit time and how successful collisions are determines the rate of chemical reactions in most cases. Therefore, for a collision to be successful, colliding particle must have enough energy which is greater than the activation energy of the reaction. In order to also produce the desired products, the colliding particles must be properly oriented.
