Ionic bond is a chemical bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons between two atoms. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge (cation) and that which accepts electrons gains a negative charge (anion). Now, electronegativity is a parameter that measures the tendency of an atom to accept electrons. In the context of ionic bonding, two elements which show a significant difference in their electronegativity values form ionic bonds.
In the given examples, the difference in electronegativity is greatest between K and Br i.e. 0.8 and 2.8 respectively with a difference of 2.0. This also makes sense since K and Br are on the extreme ends of the periodic table. Hence, potassium with a valence electron configuration of 4s1 will lose its s electron to Br (4s24p6) and form an ionic molecule K⁺Br⁻
Ans E) potassium and bromine
Answer:
SO3 2- which is sulfite
i have to put this because it doesnt let me send the answer like that :)
A. If motion starts and stops at the same location, then the displacment is zero.
D. Distance is always greater than or equal to the magnitutde of the displacement.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
According to this question, each model of molecules in the options contains spheres of different colors and sizes representing different types of atoms. The atoms of the same element are the spheres of same color and size while atoms of different element are of different color or size.
Therefore, the model showing a molecule of a substance that is made up of three elements is model D because it is made up of three distinct spheres representing atoms of each element.
- The red sphere is the atom of the first element
- The big dark sphere is the atom of the second element
- The small white sphere is the atom of the third element
