Pretend you are the size of an atom and you are observing a reaction between a potassium ion and a fluorine atom. Describe how a

n ionic bond forms as the atoms react. Tell what happens to the valence electrons in each atom and how each atom is changed by losing or gaining electrons.

Due to periodic trends potassium would lose its one valence electron to have a more stable electron configuration equivalent to that of argon, which is a noble gas with a full octet. Fluorine would gain one valence electron to get a full octet equivalent to that of neon. Since potassium lost an electron it now has a positive charge and since fluorine gained an electron it is now negative. Since both are more stable this way as a full octet they will no longer exchange electrons but the positive potassium and negative fluorine will pull towards each other strongly forming an ionic bond.

When there is unequal sharing between two atoms of the electrons in a bond, which type of bond is it?
dexar [7]
Polar covalent, it is what happens when there is unequal bond between two atoms, where one has a slightly negative charge and one has a slightly positive charge.

Choose your favorite super hero that gained their powers from radiation. What
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Copy and paste "Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f.  Visible light has a wavelength range from ~400 nm to ~700 nm.  Violet light has a wavelength of ~400 nm, and a frequency of ~7.5*1014 Hz.  Red light has a wavelength of ~700 nm, and a frequency of ~4.3*1014 Hz." into google, and the correct website pops up as the first result.

Explanation:

I tried to link the website that I use to convert wavelengths and frequencies into types of light, but it deleted my answer, so I guess we're doing it this way. As for converting the wavelength to energy, the same principles apply as before:

Frequency: ν       Wavelength: λ       Energy: E       Speed of light: C (3.00e8)       Planck's Constant: h (6.626e-34)

ν -> λ    λ = C/ν

λ -> ν    ν = C/λ

For either of these equations, wavelength must be converted to meters or nanometers, depending on the equation.

For ν -> λ, after doing the equation, convert the wavelength into nanometers by dividing by 1e-9.

For converting λ -> ν, convert the wavelength into meters by multiplying by 1e-9.

For energy: E = hν = hc/λ
