Ionic bond is a chemical bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons between two atoms. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge (cation) and that which accepts electrons gains a negative charge (anion). Now, electronegativity is a parameter that measures the tendency of an atom to accept electrons. In the context of ionic bonding, two elements which show a significant difference in their electronegativity values form ionic bonds.
In the given examples, the difference in electronegativity is greatest between K and Br i.e. 0.8 and 2.8 respectively with a difference of 2.0. This also makes sense since K and Br are on the extreme ends of the periodic table. Hence, potassium with a valence electron configuration of 4s1 will lose its s electron to Br (4s24p6) and form an ionic molecule K⁺Br⁻
Ans E) potassium and bromine
The correct option is B.
Stars live out most of their lives at MAIN SEQUENCE. Stars generally are divided into three major stages, these are:
1. Pro stars and pre-main sequence star
2. Main sequence and giant star
3. Variable stars
Major stages in the life of a star can last for millions of years.
Answer: F. Electron pair acceptor
Explanation:
A Lewis acid can be properly defined as any substance such as H+ (hygrogen ion) that can accept a pair of electron.
While a Lewis base is any substance such as (OH-) that can donate a pair of electron.
In the neutralization reaction between an acid ( H+ ) and a base (OH-). Hydrogen ion (H+ ) is the Lewis acid because it accepts an electron pair from (OH-).
Other examples of Lewis acid are; Mg2+, K+
Lower than 7 is acid greater than 7 is a base
Explanation:
a. 
→ ?
Removing common ions from both sides, we get the net ionic equation:
b. 
→
No precipitation is occuring.
c. 
→
Removing common ions from both sides, we get the net ionic equation:
d.
→
Removing common ions from both sides, we get the net ionic equation:
