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.

PO_4^{-3} and NH^{4+} are polyatomic anions composed of two or more atoms.

<h3>What is a polyatomic anion?</h3>

A polyatomic ion is an ion composed of two or more atoms. Examples: The hydroxide cation (OH^-) and the phosphate cation (PO_4^{3-}) are both polyatomic ions.

PO_4^{-3} and NH^{4+} are the polyatomic anions because both contain more than 1 atom.

Hence,PO_4{-3} and NH^{4+} are polyatomic anions composed of two or more atoms.

Which of the following is the major argument against the use of nuclear power to generate electricity?
svet-max [94.6K]
The mechanics of a power plant that generally uses nuclear energy in order to generate electricity lies in the principle of nuclear fission between radioactive atoms. In addition, among its major arguments on why it is still a matter of ethical issue is because of the intensive maintenance it requires for the disposal of its radioactive wastes.

Masja [62]
At the point when a response achieves a condition of concoction balance under a specific arrangement of conditions, no further changes in the groupings of reactants and items happen. On the off chance that a change is made in the conditions under which the framework is at harmony, substance change will happen so as to build up another balance. The components that can impact harmony are an adjustment in focus, change in weight (or volume), and change in temperature.
