Answer:
We know based on the charges of each ion and the fact that they must always sum to 0
Explanation:
Na only has one outer electon to give so it is always +1
Mg has two outer electrons so it always gets +2
Halogens have one "missing" electron in their outer shell so they get a -1
For NaCl (+1) + (-1) = 0
For MgI2 (+2) + 2(-1) = 0
The answer is there is a one-to-one ratio of potassium ions to iodide ions.
Explanation :
- (K) belongs to Alkali metals in group (1A) that contains (1) electron in the outermost energy level, whereas, (I) is from halogens in group (7A) that contains (7) electron in the outermost energy level.
- To achieve stability, both atoms tend to reach the nearest noble state (outermost level occupies 8 electrons). Therefore, (K) loses its outer electron and gives it to (I) which now has a completely filled outer level and an ionic bond is formed between the two.
- The valency (number of electrons lost, gained or shared) of both atoms is equal ”monovalent” which means one-to-one ratio..
