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:
= 74.4 grams / mole. Ernest Z. The reaction will produce 15.3 g of KCl
Explanation:
The answer would be D. This is because sulfur is on it's own, meaning one. while tri is a prefix for three so there are three oxygen atoms.
Answer:
Kinetic energy, Kelvin temperature, direction, warmer, cooler, Kelvin, Absolute zero
Explanation:
THe answers are in order and when there is a comma move to the next ______
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The dissolving process depends on the interaction between solute and solvent (solvation) and the breaking up of the intermolecular bond between solutes. The former is exothermic in nature, while the later is endothermic. Energy is released when solute-solvent particles interact. When this energy exceeds the energy required to break intermolecular bonds between the solute particles, dissolution is exothermic.
