Which element, when combined with Iodine, would most likely form an ionic compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
uranmaximum [27]3 years ago
4 0

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)

Answer:

698 \ THz

Explanation:

Data provided as per the question below:-

Wavelength = 430.nm

The computation of the frequency of the light is shown below:-

Frequency = Velocity of light ÷ Wavelength

The  Velocity of light = = {3.0 \times 10^8 \ m/s}

Wavelength = 430 nm = 4.30 \times 10^-^7 m

Frequency = \frac{3.0 \times 10^8 \ m/s}{4.30 \times 10^-^7}

= 6.98 \times 10^1^4 \ hz

= 6.98 \times 10^2 \ Thz

= 698 \ THz

Therefore for determining the frequency we simply applied the above formula.
