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)

Describe how nucleic acid basis pair up
castortr0y [4]

The rules of base pairing (or nucleotide pairing) are: A with T: the purine adenine (A) always pairs with the pyrimidine thymine (T) C with G: the pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G)

The nucleotides in a base pair are complementary which means their shape allows them to bond together with hydrogen bonds. The A-T pair forms two hydrogen bonds. The C-G pair forms three. The hydrogen bonding between complementary bases holds the two strands of DNA together.

What is the conjugate acid of HCO3- ?OH-H2CO3CO32-H2OH3O+
adell [148]

<u>Answer:</u> The conjugate acid of HCO_3^- is H_2CO_3

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory:

  • An acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base.
  • A base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

To form a conjugate acid of HCO_3^-, this compound will accept one proton to form H_2CO_3

The chemical equation for the formation of conjugate acid follows:

HCO_3^-+H^+\rightarrow H_2CO_3

The conjugate acid formed is named as carbonic acid.

Hence, the conjugate acid of HCO_3^- is H_2CO_3
