<span>a nonmetal bonds with a nonmetal, eg. Carbon and Oxygen form CO2 or CO

Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds, metals don't bond with each other, and most noble gases don't bond at all.

Hope this helps! :)</span>

Lisa [10]

Nuclear fusion in the sun involves hydrogen (H) atoms combining to form helium (He). A student claims that since the atmosphere contains hydrogen, any fusion reaction on Earth would result in an uncontrolled chain reaction. What is wrong in the student’s reasoning is that the uncontrolled chain reactions can only happen during nuclear fission.

Which element, when combined with Iodine, would most likely form an ionic compound?
uranmaximum [27]

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)
