Answer:

KCl

Explanation:

Hello,

Potassium chloride is well-known as an ionic compound owing to the shown-below greater-than-1.7 difference between the electronegativities of potassium and chlorine:

\Delta E=E_{Cl}-E_K=3.16-0.82\\\Delta E=2.34

This is by cause of the fact that such compounds that have a difference in the constituent elements' electronegativities greater than 1.7 are considered as ionic.

Best regards.

KCI is not a covalent compound, it is an ionic compound. 
A covalent compound is one in which each of the atoms involved contribute a specific number of electrons for sharing in order to from stable compound while an ionic compound is a compound formed when one atom donates electron to the other atom in the compound, in order to attain stability.  The compounds given in options A, B and D shared electrons while in KCl, potassium donates an electron to chlorine.

The element lanthanum has two stable isotopes, lanthanum-138 with an atomic mass of 137.9 AMU and lanthanum-139 with an atomic m
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

A. there is an isotope of lanthanum with an atomic mass of 138.9

Explanation:

By knowing the different atomic masses of both Lanthanum atoms, we can not tell anything about their occurence in nature. Therefore, all the last three options are incorrect. Because, the atomic mass does not tell anything about the availability or natural abundance of an element.

Now, the isotopes of an element are those elements, which have same number of electrons and protons as the original element, but different number of neutrons. Therefore, they have same atomic number but, different atomic weight or atomic masses.

Hence, by looking at an elements having same atomic number, but different atomic masses, we can identify them as isotopes.

Thus, the correct option is:

<u>A. there is an isotope of lanthanum with an atomic mass of 138.9.</u>
