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
Answer:
No, it is not enthalpy favored since the chemical system gains energy.
Explanation:
The dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water is an endothermic process.
Endothermic process requires the system to gain energy to can dissolve the particles in water.
So, the reaction is not enthalpy favored.
Answer:
It cannot conduct electricity, however adding salt or sugar will make the water have impurities/other substance making it easier to conduct electricity
Explanation:
Distilled water by itself does not contain impurities, thus, it cannot <em>conduct </em>electricity.
When you put salt in water, the water molecules pull the sodium and chlorine ions apart so they are floating freely, increasing the conductivity.

Answer:
6960 J/kg°C
Explanation:
specific heat= mass×specific heat capacity×increase in temperature
specific heat= 0.240×1450×20= 6960 J/kg°C
