The part of an atom that is actively exchanged or shared in a chemical bond is ELECTRON.

An atom is made up of three sub particles, which are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and the neutron are located in the nucleus of the atom and they make up the major mass of the atom. The electron is located outside of the nucleus and it orbit around the nucleus; it has negligible mass. The electron is negatively charged and because it is located outside of the nucleus, it is the one that is always involved in chemical reactions. There are different types of chemical bonds in chemical compounds and it is electrons that are normally used to form these bonds. During bond formation, electrons can either be donated or shared.

I have to obtain an empirical formula from:

JulsSmile [24]

When finding empirical formulas decimals are fine so you wouldn't have to multiply all of them to turn into whole numbers. What you would do is divide each of those numbers by the smallest of those numbers and take the nearest whole number so if you had:

1.81 mol .6 mol and .3.61 mol you would divide each of those numbers by .6
and you would have 3, 1, and 6

for your problem you would divide them all by 1 and Carbon would be 2 (if your teacher normally has you round down at .5's then it would be 1) hydrogen would be 3 and oxygen would be 1.

Add electron dots and charges as necessary to show the reaction of potassium and bromine to form an ionic compound

S_A_V [24]

Explanation: Electron dot structures are the lewis dot structures which represent the number of valence electrons around an atom in a molecule.

The electronic configuration of potassium is $[Ar]4s^1$

Valence electrons of potassium are 1.

The electronic configuration of Bromine is $[Ar]4s^24p^5$

Valence electrons of bromine are 7.

These two elements form ionic compound.

Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed from the complete transfer of electrons from one element to another element.

Here, one electron is released by potassium which is accepted by bromine element. In this process, Potassium becomes cation having +1 charge and Bromine become anion having (-1) charge.

The ionic equation follows:

$K^++Br^-\rightarrow KBr$
