Potassium (K) having 9 valance electrons can donate a single electron to Fluorine and reach the noble state by completing the Octet.

Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Octet Rule:

When the atoms of an element hold 8 independent valance electrons in their outermost orbit; the element converts into its noble state where it doesn't need to react or combine to any other element and gets stable. Each element tend to reach such state by either donating or receiving electrons to satisfy the Octet rule.

Here in this case, we can see that its Potassium which can donate a single electron to Fluorine as it has 19 electrons in each of its atoms. If we see its electronic configuration, we will know that the electrons are divided in three orbits having 2, 8 and 9 electrons, respectively.

Now, if a Potassium atom leaves one of its valence electrons out of 9; the count will be reduced to 8 which will make it stable according to the Octet Rule and hence, it forms a noble gas. Thus, it's Potassium which can donate an electron and gets stable.

Why is cyanide ion negatively charged?
Bogdan [553]
The cyanide is CN^{-}
A carbon atom has 4 valance electrons and nitrogen has 5. Below is a Lewis-dot-structure of cyanide.
:N≡C.
The carbon atom is still one electron short of having a full octet and so it will seize another electron from almost anything, making the cyanide ion negative and whatever it took the electron from it now positive.

Buffering capacity refers to: the effectiveness of commercial antacids the extent to which a buffer solution can counteract the
kirill [66]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Buffere is defined as the solution to whom when an acid or base is added then it resists any in change in pH of the solution.

This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. So, basically it keeps the concentration of both hydrogen ions and hydroxides equal. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.

And, the capacity of a buffer solution to resist the change is known as buffer capacity.

Thus, we can conclude that buffering capacity refers to the extent to which a buffer solution can counteract the effect of added acid or base.

Show the empirical formula manganese fluoride; 59.1% Mn and 40.9% F. Fill in the subscripts on the formula below. Make sure to h
Gre4nikov [31]

Hey there!:

Given % of Mn=59.1% means 59.1 g of Mn present in 100 g of manganese fluoride.

Molar mass of Mn= 54.938 g/mol

Moles of Mn = mass / molar mass

59.1 /54.938 => 1.07 ≈ 1 mol.

and % of F=40.9% means 40.9 g of of F present in 100 g of manganese fluoride.

Molar mass of F=18.998 g/mol

Moles of F :

40.9 / 18.999 => 2.15 mol ≈ 2 mol.

The mole ratio between Mn:F=  1 : 2

Therefore the empirical formula of manganese fluoride:

=> MnF2=Mn1F2

Hope that helps!

grigory [225]
A specific combination of bonded atoms which always react in the same way, regardless of the particular carbon skeleton is known as the functional group. These are specific groups of atoms or bonds within organic molecules that accounts for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules.  Examples of functional groups are the Carbonyl group, alkyl Halides, aldehydes and ketones among others.
