In an ionic compound the atoms are linked via ionic bonds. These are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge whereas the atom that accepts electrons gains a negative. This happens in accordance with the octet rule wherein each atom is surrounded by 8 electrons
In the given example:
The valence electron configuration of Iodine (I) = 5s²5p⁵
It needs only one electron to complete its octet.
In the given options:
K = 4s¹
C = 2s²2p²
Cl = 3s²3p⁵
P = 3s²3p³
Thus K can donate its valence electron to Iodine. As a result K, will gain a stable noble gas configuration of argon while iodine would gain an octet. This would also balance the charges as K⁺I⁻ creating a neutral molecule.
Ans: Potassium (K)
Answer:
magnesium chloride: MgCl2
zinc sulphide: ZnS
sodium sulphate: Na2SO4

Analytical
Analytical chemistry seeks to determine the composition of substances.
Answer:
The kinetic energy of the two stones is 320 J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy that a body possesses due to its movement. So it is the capacity or work that allows an object to go from being at rest, or still, to moving at a certain speed.
In other words, the kinetic energy of an object is that which is produced due to its motion and depends on its mass and velocity as follows:

where the kinetic energy Ec is measured in joules (J), the mass m is measured in kilograms (kg) and the velocity v in meters/second (m/s).
In this case you know that a 20 kg curling stone is sliding in a positive direction at 4 m/s. So:
Replacing you have:

Ec₁= 160 J
A second curling stone slides at the same speed but in the opposite direction. So:
Replacing you have:

Ec₂= 160 J
The kinetic energy of the two stones is calculated as:
Ec= Ec₁ + Ec₂
Ec= 160 J + 160 J
Ec= 320 J
<u><em>The kinetic energy of the two stones is 320 J</em></u>
Tyndall effect or Brownian movement and Particles of colloidal solution are the two properties that make solutions different from colloids.
