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)

It is harmful because you can get burned easy and your clothes can get dirty.
Answer:
Density can be useful in identifying substances. It is also a convenient property because it provides a link (or conversion factor) between the mass and the volume of a substance. Mass and volume are extensive (or extrinsic) properties of matter - they depend on amount.
Explanation:
Answer:
1.4200 g
Explanation:
The chlorine gas has a molecular formula Cl2. In table periodic, the molar mass of one atom of chlorine is 35.5 g/mol, so the molar mass of Cl2 is 71 g/mol.
Molar mass, mass and number of moles are related by the equation below:
Where n is the number of moles, m is the mass, and MM is the molar mass of the compound.
So, for 0.0200 moles of Cl2 produced:
m = 71x0.0200
m = 1.4200
