Answer:
E. potassium (K) and bromine (Br)
Explanation:
An ionic bond is formed between compounds with a large electronegativity difference between them. It is usually between a metal and non-metal.
- Potassium is a true metal found in group 1 on the periodic table.
- Bromine is a highly electronegative non-metal which is a halogen.
- Potassium will lose one of its electrons which will be gained by the Bromine.
- The electrostatic attraction between the two species will cause the ionic bond to form.
- The ability of one specie willing to lose electron and the other gaining, is the main bed rock of ionic bonding.

Answer:
90yrs
Explanation:
Half life is the time taken for half of an original radioactive material to decay by half.
For the sample;
Half - life = 45yrs
Original amount = 600cpm
Start Number of atoms
0yrs 600cpm
First half life
45yrs 300cpm
Second half life
90yrs 150cpm
