Pretend that you are the size of an atom, observing a reaction between a potassium atom and a fluorine atom. Write an account of

the formation of an ionic bond as the atoms react. Tell what happens to the valence electrons on each atom and how each atom is changed by losing or gaining electrons.

Potassium will loss it's electron because it have a character of electropositively therefore it's electron will transfer to flouren which will make stable and complete of it's electro configuration. Now potassium will have negative charge due to loss it's outer most electron on it's orbit and flourine will take negatively charge too because of complete it's outer most shell to be completed.(But we have to know that at first flourine was had a positive charge because of not completed of it's outer most shell)

What is the variable that is changed by
denpristay [2]

Answer:

b. independent/manipulated variable

Explanation:

Independent/manipulated variable - refers to the variable that is changed by the scientist or an experimenter. Only one variable that is independent is required to ensure a fair test in an excellent experiment. As the independent variable is being changed by an experimenter or scientist, data is being recorded simultaneously as they are collected.

Is it the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that
kvasek [131]

Yes, it is the power of material evidence that wins.

  • Evidence used to support or refute a scientific theory or hypothesis is known as material evidence.
  • Evidence is also used by scientists in various contexts, such as when they apply ideas to real-world issues.
  • Whether a person accepts the data as proof depends on their presumptions or views regarding how observations relate to a theory.
  • A creative hypothesis is developed by a scientist and may be refuted by testing it against evidence or established truths.
  • Evidence can refute a hypothesis by demonstrating facts that are at odds with it. In contrast, the presence of evidence does not preclude the possibility of future, undiscovered evidence supporting the idea.

Therefore, it is the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that

proves an answer in Science.

An ionic compound is formed when there is a reaction between the elements
hjlf

Answer:

An ionic compound is formed when there is a reaction between the elements whose ions are electrostatically attracted.

Explanation:

The ionic compounds form crystalline networks with ionic bonding. Electrostatic attraction is a very strong bond that is very difficult to break. The stability of the ionic compound depends on the lattice energy, the higher it is, the more stable the compound is and the lattice energy is that which is released in the formation. At room temperature they are always in a solid state, because the bonds are very close and as stated before, they are difficult to break (providing a lot of energy)

<h2>The compound formed is NaCl and CaCl_{2}</h2>

Explanation:

     PART 1:

  • Atomic number of sodium is 11.
  • Sodium(Na, Z = 11, Group 1A) will lose 1 electron to become Na^{1+} which is isoelectronic to Neon (Ne ,Z = 10).
  • The symbol for the sodium ion is Na^{+}.
  • Chlorine atom (Cl, Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) gains 1 elecron to be  isoelectronic to neon.
  • The symbol for the compound formed is NaCl.
  • PART 2:
  • Atomic number of calcium is 20
  • Calcium(Ca, Z = 20 ,Group 2A) will lose two electrons to become Ca^{2+}which is isoelectronic to argon.
  • The symbol for the ion is Ca^{2+}.
  • Two chlorine atoms (Cl, Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) each gains one electron to be isoelectronic to argon(Z = 18)
  • The symbol for the compound formed is CaCl_{2}.
