A low electronegativity
Explanation:
Potassium is a metal that is expected to have a very low electronegativity value.
Electronegativity is the relative tendency by which an atom attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.
Potassium is an element in the first group on the periodic table.
The common trend is that electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down a group.
- Potassium as metal will prefer to lose electrons rather than attracting because that will make it achieve the octet configuration that will ensure its stability.
- This is why it will have low electronegativity.

Nuclear fission is the process of which a large nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei with the release of energy and neutron. In simpler words, nuclear fission is the process in which a nucleus is split into two smaller fragments or pieces (nuclei) and so energy and neutrons are released. The resulting pieces of this fission process have less combined mass than the original piece (nucleus) and the missing was is converted into nuclear energy.
3 Chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion.
In ionic bonds, metals atoms loses all its outermost shell electrons to form a cation. While, non metal atoms gains however many electrons in order to make its outermost electron shell be 8 (or 2 if there's only one shell).
Therefore, form the periodic table, we can see that aluminum has a atomic number of 13, which makes its electron arrangement be 2,8,3. So, in order to form a aluminum ion, an Al atom must lose 3 electrons. On the other hand, Chlorine has a atomic number of 17, which means it has the electron configuration of 2,8,7. It has to gain only 1 electron to have 8 outermost shell electron.
Thereofre, 3 Chlorine atom are required to gain all 3 electrons given out by just 1 aluminum ion.
Explanation:
Ok so water is H2O and cabon dioxide in the air is CO2, so the water goes through the carbon dioxide and makes acid rain H2SO4.
Now we have our limestone which is CaCO3.
What happens is that the acid breaks apart our limestone into Ca2+ and CO3 2-. This then reforms into Calcium bicarbonate Ca(CO3)2.
Calcium bicarbonate is soluble in water and is hence washed away by the rain eroding the limestone.
