y’all i have this same question someone please help
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:
Those two horizontal lines.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, when focusing on these heating curves, it is important to say they tend to have two constant-temperature sections and three variable-temperature sections. Thus, from lower to higher temperature, the first constant-temperature section corresponds to melting and the second one vaporization, whereas the three variable-temperature sections correspond to the heating of the solid until melting, the liquid until vaporization and the gas until the critical point.
In such a way, we infer that the boxes referred to constant temperature are referred to a gain in potential energy, that is, the two horizontal lines.
Regards!
