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)
I am not sure i am so sorry
Answer:
Q = 44.5 kJ
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of water, m = 112 g
Water at 50.0°C cools to form ice at −45.0°C
We need to find the total amount of heat released. The formula for heat released is given by :
c is the specific heat of water, c = 4.184 J/g°C
So,
or
Q = -44.5 kJ
So, 44.5 kJ of heat is released.
