3 0

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].

If the specific heat of water is 4.18 3/g*^ C much heat is required to increase the temperature of 12 g of water from 23 degrees
12345 [234]

Answer:

Q = 802.6 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.°C

Mass of water = 12 g

Initial temperature = 23°C

Final temperature = 39°C

Heat required = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 39°C - 23°C

ΔT = 16 °C

Q = 12 g× 4.18 J/g.°C × 16 °C

Q = 802.6 J

The lewis dot notation for two atoms is shown. What is represented by this notation? K loses one portion to CI, K gains one port
telo118 [61]

Answer:

K loses one electron to CI

Explanation:

The lewis electron dot notation shows only the chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots to represent the valence electrons.

  We have atom of K with one valence electrons

   Cl with 7 valence electrons

For an electrostatic attraction to occur, both particles must be charged. To do this, one of the species must lose an electron, and the other gains it.

This will make both species attain a stable octet;

   Hence, K will lose 1 electron and Cl will gain the electrons.
