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:
Hi
Williamson's ether reactions imply that an alkoxide reacts with a primary haloalkane. Alkoxides consisting of the conjugate base of an alcohol and are formed by a group R attached to an oxygen atom. They are often written as RO–, where R is the organic substituent (Step 1).
Sn2 reactions are characterized by the reversal of stereochemistry at the site of the leaving group. Williamson's synthesis is no exception and the reaction is initiated by the subsequent attack of the nucleophile. This requires that the nucleophile and electrophile be in anti-configuration (Step 2).
As an example (figure 3).
In the attached file are each of the steps of Williamson's synthesis.
