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)
I say the Correct answer is
B) There will be a shift toward the products.
Answer:
Perfectly Specified
Explanation:
Given,
Pressure = P = 0.9 atm
and the Boiling point = T
Number of phases P = 1
Number of components C = 1
According to Gibb's phase rule ,
F = C - P + 2
If
- F = 0, the system is perfectly specified
- F > 0, the system is under specified
- F < 0 the system is over specified
At P = 0.9 atm, boiling point is T i.e. Fixed equal to 96.7 °C (from steam table)
P is independent variable and T is dependent variable (depends on the value of P ).
In this case only two variables are required to fix the system pressure and temperature.
In the given problem, pressure is fixed so the temperature is also fixed. There is no requirement of any other variable.
Therefore degree of freedom,
F = 0
The system is perfectly specified.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
because it has gained an electron
