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.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The correct answer is (D) All of the above.

Explanation:

A chemical bond is the attraction force between atoms (covalent bond) or between oppositely charged ions (ionic bond) to form a stable arrangement. In order to get a stable arrangement must be fulfilled the octet rule. This establishes that an atom could share (covalent bond) win or lose (ionic bond) electrons with other atoms till every atom has eight valence electrons. The complete outer shell of valence electrons make elements stable to get a stable noble gas configuration.
