Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Potassium is a metal. Remember that metals are electropositive in nature. This implies that they give out electrons when they undergo ionic bonding with nonmetals.
Chlorine is a nonmetal. So the bond between chlorine and potassium is ionic. Potassium gives out one electron to chlorine and the both ions now attain a stable octet.
The electronic configuration of potassium is [Ar]4s1. After giving out an electron to chlorine in an ionic bond, its electronic configuration is now [Ar].
Carbon Dioxide is formed when two oxygen atoms chemically combine with a carbon atom. The term that will best describe carbon dioxide is a compound. That will make the correct answer D.
It affects our everday life because of new inventions and easier ways to make/produce different stuff!
