explain using diagrams how potassium forms the compound potassium flouride when it reacts with flourine
1 answer:
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: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
In a chemical reaction, the bonds between the reactant molecules tend to break leading to the formation of new bonds to produce products.
So, in order to break the bonds between the reactant molecules, energy is required to overcome the attraction between the atoms.
To form new bonds, energy gets released when two atoms come closer to each other. Hence, formation of bond releases energy.
As in the given reaction it is shown that < 0, that is, enthalpy change is negative. Hence, energy is released as it is an exothermic process.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement energy released as the bonds in the reactants is broken is greater than the energy absorbed as the bonds in the products are formed, is true about the bond energies in this reaction.
