Choose the statement below that correctly describes electrons.
frutty [35]

Answer:

d. Electrons have a negative charge and are lighter than protons

Explanation:

The best statement that describes electrons is that electrons are negatively charged and are lighter than protons.

There are three known subatomic particles which are:

  • Protons which are the positively charged particles within an atom.
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges.

The mass of the protons and neutrons are similar.

Electrons are lighter than both protons and neutrons.

Which statement correctly describes potassium iodide, KI? There is a one-to-one ratio of potassium ions to iodide ions. Potassiu
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The answer is there is a one-to-one ratio of potassium ions to iodide ions.

Explanation :

- (K) belongs to Alkali metals in group (1A) that contains (1) electron in the outermost energy level, whereas, (I) is from halogens in group (7A) that contains (7) electron in the outermost energy level.

- To achieve stability, both atoms tend to reach the nearest noble state (outermost level occupies 8 electrons). Therefore, (K) loses its outer electron and gives it to (I) which now has a completely filled outer level and an ionic bond is formed between the two.

- The valency (number of electrons lost, gained or shared) of both atoms is equal ”monovalent” which means one-to-one ratio..
