Answer: 2

Explanation: Potassium, K, has only 1 valence electron, 4s^1.  Oxygen, O, needs 2 more electrons to complete its valence shell to make 8 electrons.  That means 2 K atoms will combine with 1 O atom, to produce K2O, potassium oxide.  Both K electrons are stolen by the single O atom, so 2 electrons are transferred.

How many kJ to hear 0.700 pint of room temp water to boiling
irina1246 [14]
Use the equation Q = mCT.

Q is the amount of energy in joules.

m is the mass in grams.

C is the specific heat of water (4.184 J/g °C).

T is the change in temperature.

0.700 pints = 331.224 g of water

Q = (331.224 g)(4.184 J/g °C)(100° C - 30° C)

Q = 97,008.885 J

Divide by 1,000 to convert to kilojoules:

97.009 kJ

1. A chemical bond is the physical phenomenon of chemical substances being held together by attraction of atoms to each other through sharing

2. so 2 is electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.meaning the answer is A

3. is When atoms combine by forming covalent bonds, the resulting collection of atoms is called a molecule. We can therefore say that a molecule is the simplest unit of a covalent compound.
