Answer:
K loses one electron to CI
Explanation:
The lewis electron dot notation shows only the chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots to represent the valence electrons.
We have atom of K with one valence electrons
Cl with 7 valence electrons
For an electrostatic attraction to occur, both particles must be charged. To do this, one of the species must lose an electron, and the other gains it.
This will make both species attain a stable octet;
Hence, K will lose 1 electron and Cl will gain the electrons.
If the diatomic molecule consists of atoms from two different elements, then it is aheteronuclear diatomic molecule. There are seven elements that naturally occur as homonucleardiatomic molecules in their gaseous states: hydrogen,nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine,chlorine, bromine, and iodine
