Answer:

About one valence electron

Explanation:

Obviously, removing that electron gives us [Ar] (same configuration as K1+), which is a noble gas and has 8 electrons. Valence electrons are generally regarded as being 'the outermost electrons' for a given atom. Therefore, with neutral potassium, there is one valence electron

What is the different types of technology used for cloning animals?

gayaneshka [121]

There are three types of artificial cloning:
Gene cloning: copies a few segments of DNA or genes.
Reproductive cloning: it copies the whole animal.
Therapeutic cloning: produces embryonic stem cells for experiments aimed at creating tissues to replace injured or diseased tissues.

Which statement describes a step in the formation of an ionic bond?

BartSMP [9]

The correct answer is a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion. This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals. Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.

Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces.

A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.

A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Manganese commonly occurs in nature as a mineral. The extraction of manganese from the carbonite mineral rhodochrosite, involves a two-step process. In the first step, manganese (II) carbonate and oxygen react to form manganese (IV) oxide and carbon dioxide:

$2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)$

In the second step, manganese (IV) oxide and aluminum react to form manganese and aluminum oxide:

$3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)$

Write the net chemical equation for the production of manganese from manganese (II) carbonate, oxygen and aluminum. Be sure your equation is balanced.

Answer : The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

$6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)$
