The answer is: A) Na3PO4 + 3KOH → 3NaOH + K3PO4, because K retains the same charge throughout the reaction.
This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations (K⁺ and Na⁺) and anions (PO₄³⁻⁻ and OH⁻) of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.
Na₃PO₄ is sodium phosphate.
KOH is potassium hydroxide.
NaOH is sodium hydroxide.
K₃PO₄ is potassium phosphate.
According to the mass conservation law, there are same number of atoms on both side of balanced chemical reaction.
The answer is A) KF. The rest are covalent.
2.
The reason why is because there are 2 available electron spots on the orbital for the oxygen atom. Hydrogen atoms have one proton and one electron, thus, in order to fill the oxygen atom orbital to a full outer shell, a maximum of 2 atoms could bond with the oxygen atoms.
6 electrons (oxygen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)= 8
