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)

Why using a temperature probe is preferable to using a conventional mercury thermometers
Crank
This for health and hazard purposes. The conventional thermometers contain mercury which is very dangerous to health. It is toxic which could cause poisoning, respiratory damage and kidney problems. Because of this, it is already illegal to use them for safety purposes. Temperature probes are much safer because they only use thermocouples.
