<span>The correct answer is that an ionic bond forms between charged particles. To form this bond, the particles transfer valence electrons (those in the outermost orbit). Specifically, in ionic bonding, the metal atom loses its electrons (thus becoming positive) and the nonmetal atom gains electrons (thus becoming negative).</span>
The statement seems to be true, as per my knowledge.
Hope I helped!! xx
The balanced equation for the above reaction is;
2K + Cl₂ ---> 2KCl
Stoichiomtery of K to KCl is 2:2
Potassium is the limiting reactant which is fully consumed in the reaction. The amount of product formed depends on amount of limits reactant present.
Number of moles of K reacted - 6.75 g/ 39 g/mol = 0.17 mol
Therefore number of KCl moles formed - 0.17 mol
Mass of KCl formed - 0.17 mol x 74.5 g/mol = 12.67 g
