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)
The answer is TRUE.
If the Energy is on the left, then the problem is true. If it is on the right then it would be negative, false, and considered as exothermic.
Endothermic reaction = the products are higher in energy than the reactants.
Exothermic reaction = a chemical reaction that releases energy by light or heat.
Data can arranged into visual displays called graphs. There are multiple types of graphs such as bar graphs, line graphs, scatter plots, and pie charts.
hopefully this helps :)
