<h3>ANSWER:</h3>

(C) KBr

<h3>EXPLANATION:</h3>

An ionic compound is made up of a metal and a nonmetal. K is a metal while bromine is a nonmetal. Thus K transfers its one electron to bromine in order to form an ionic compound.

An ionic compound is composed of ions, a positive ion i.e. a cation and a negative ion i.e. an anion. The bond formed between the two elements is an ionic bond which is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from an electropositive element to the electronegative element. The electropositive element loses its electron and gains a positive charge whereas the electronegative atom accepts that electron and gains a negative charge.

In the given examples:

KBr is made up of ions

Potassium being electropositive becomes positively charged K+

Bromine is electronegative and becomes negatively charged Br-

KBr = K⁺Br⁻

Below are the steps of the engineering process (not necessarily in order): 1) Know the background 2) Do the work 3) Make a plan

Answer:

4 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 6 - 5

Explanation:

During an engineering process, first, we need to identify the problem, or the need because the process only will occur because of some need. Then, it's necessary to know as much as possible about the problem and the things that already exist or already were tested to solve it. Knowing the background will make the work easy.

After that, it's necessary to plan the things we'll do, knowing the costs, the time needed for activities, how many people will be necessary for each step, etc. It's really important to make a plan. Then, do the work, following the plan. Thus, the process must be tested. During the test of the results, some problems must be found, so it's time to evaluate and redesign the process, to solve these problems found.
