Answer:
K loses one electron to CI
Explanation:
The lewis electron dot notation shows only the chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots to represent the valence electrons.
We have atom of K with one valence electrons
Cl with 7 valence electrons
For an electrostatic attraction to occur, both particles must be charged. To do this, one of the species must lose an electron, and the other gains it.
This will make both species attain a stable octet;
Hence, K will lose 1 electron and Cl will gain the electrons.
Answer:
One kind is called living things. Living things eat, breathe, grow, move, reproduce and have senses. The other kind is called nonliving things. Nonliving things do not eat, breathe, grow, move and reproduce.
Grams of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams
Grams of white compound = 27.8 grams
Grams of Chlorine would be = 27.8 - 4.14 = 23.66 grams
Calculating moles which would be grams / molar mass
Molar mass of P = 30.97 grams / moles; Molar mass of Cl = 35.45 grams / moles
Moles of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams / 30.97 grams / moles = 0.1337 moles
Moles of Chlorine = 23.66 grams / 35.45 grams / moles = 0.6674 moles
Calculating the ratios by dividing with the small entity
P = 0.1337 moles / 0.1337 moles = 1
Cl = 0.6674 moles / 0.1337 moles = 5
So the empirical formula would be PCl5
