It makes sense that an inner shell electron would be tougher to remove
than a valence electron because the inner shell electron is closer to
the positive nucleus of the atom. Seeing as an electron caries a
negative charge it would be too attracted to the positive core to leave
readily. Also, the inner shell electrons are constantly repelling
electrons outside of it's energy level (however the reason these
electrons outside innershell energy levels don't simply fly away is the
charge of the positive core overcomes the smaller charges of the
comparably negligible inner shell electrons, but that repulsion is still
there so keep that in mind) </span>
The correct answer is a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion. This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals. Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.
Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces.
A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.
A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Answer:
k = [F2]² [PO]² / [P2] [F2O]²
Explanation:
In a chemical equilibrium, the equilibrium constant expression is written as the ratio between the molar concentration of the products over the molar concentration of the reactants. Each species powered to its reaction coefficient. For the equilibrium:
P2(g) + 2F2O(g) ⇄ 2PO(g) + 2F2(g)
The equilibrium constant, k, is:
k = [F2]² [PO]² / [P2] [F2O]²
