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)
For 1 mole of any substance, there are 6.02214086 × 10^<span>23 particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc. depending on the substance)
So, for 1 mole of water, there are </span>6.02214086 × 10^23 water particles, and so on
So, in 1 mole of Lithium, there are 6.02214086 × 10^23 Lithium atoms
First, let's count mole of 10 g Calcium Carbonate
mole = Mass / Molecular Mass
Calcium Carbonate = CaCO₃
Molecular Mass = Ar Ca + Ar C + (3 x Ar O)
Molecular Mass = 40 + 12 + (3 x 16)
Molecular Mass = 100
next
Mole of CaCO₃ = 10 gram / 100
Mole of CaCO₃ = 0,1 mol
then equal the reaction equation first
CaCO₃ + 2 HCl ==> CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O (Equal)
To count the mass of carbon dioxide that produced we must know the mole of CO₂ first
we can count by coefficient comparison
mole CO₂ = 
x mole CaCO₃
mole CO₂ = (1/1) x 0,1 mole
mole CO₂ = 0,1 mole
so
Mass of CO₂ = mole CO₂ x Molecular Mass of CO₂
Mass of CO₂ = 0,1 mole x (12 + (2 x 16))
Mass of CO₂ = 0,1 mole x 44
Mass of CO₂ = 4,4 g
so, mass of carbon dioxide that's produced by 10 g of calcium carbonate on reaction with chloride acid is 4,4 g.
Answer:
<span>D. Remove electrons from its full outer energy level
</span>
Explanation:
The atom achieves its stable state when its outermost shell is completely full with 8 electrons (based on the octet rule)
Any atom whose outer shell is not completely full tends to lose gain or share electrons in order to complete this shell and become stable
Therefore, it is pointless for an atom with an outer shell having 8 electrons to lose electrons, because by this it convert from being stable to being unstable.
Hope this helps :)
