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)

Option E, Real gas particles have more complex interactions than ideal gas particles.

In ideal gases, there is absolutely no interaction between any atoms. At all. Atoms simply don't bump into each other in ideal gases.

Obviously, you know that's unrealistic. In real gases, atoms collide into each other all the time.

What happens to the reaction c2h6 + 137 kj c2h4+h2 when the temperature of the reaction is increased?
Softa [21]
Answer is: at higher temperatures reaction will go to the right (forward), more products (C₂H₄ and H₂) will be produce, because this is endothermic reaction (ΔH<span> is positive, </span>energy is consumed) and according Le Chatelier's principle <span>heat is included as a reactant. </span> .

12.23 g of ammonia (NH3) are dissolved in enough water to make 560.0 mL of solution. How many moles of NH3 are added to the wate
Karolina [17]

Answer:

0.719 moles of NH₃

Explanation:

Molar mass of ammonia 17 g/mol

Mass of amonia = 12.23 g

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

12.23 g / 17 g/mol = 0.719 moles
