Equation: 2K + S --> K2S
Chemical formula: K2S
Answer is: (3) ionic and molecular.
Ionic compounds are made of ions held together with ionic bonds.
Ionic bond forms when a cation transfers its extra electron to an anion who needs it.
For example compound magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) has ionic bond (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).
Magnesium (metal) transfers two electrons (became positive cation) to chlorine (became negative anion).
Molecular compounds are made up of molecules whose atoms are connected with covalent bonds.
Covalent bond is bond between nonmetals.
For example, molecule carbon monoxide CO has covalent bond.
Carbon (C) and oxygen (O) are nonmetals.
Carbon atom and oxygen atom are connected by a triple bond (six shared electrons in three bonding molecular orbitals) that is formed of two covalent bonds and one dative covalent bond.
Answer:
Carbon, germanium, tin and lead.
Explanation:
The silicon is belong to the carbon family. There are five elements in carbon family carbon, silicon, germanium, tin and lead. These five elements are present in same group i.e group fourteen. The elements present in same group have same number of valance electrons.
For example.
Carbon electronic configuration:
C₆ = [He] 2s² 2p²
Silicon electronic configuration:
Si₁₄ = [Ne] 3s² 3p²
Germanium electronic configuration:
Ge₃₂ = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p²
Tin electronic configuration:
Sn₅₀ = [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p²
Lead electronic configuration:
Pb₈₂ = [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p²
we can see that in case of all elements there are four valance electrons, which are equal to the valance electrons of silicon.
I believe the answer is 50.5 molecules
