The element that is likely to form a ionic bond with potassium is Cl (answer A)
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
Ionic bond - is a bond formed when a metal and a non metal react.
Metal loses electron ( donate electrons) while non metal gains electrons ( accept electrons) to form ionic bond.
potassium is a metal while Chlorine(Cl) is a non metal. They react to form an ionic bond by potassium donating 1 electron while chlorine accept 1 electron.
If those are the optional answers, it's most likely sodium.
Correct answer: A). Gathering evidence
The scientific explanation uses measurements and observations in order to explain something in the natural world. The Scientist uses the scientific method to collect evidence in the experiment that is related to the hypothesis.
They can gather the evidence by just observing the natural world and its phenomena or by performing an experiment in the laboratory or by running a model.
Hence, the correct answer would be option A.
