Noble gas electron configurations are easier to write because they are shorter then full electron configurations. They Noble gas shortcut electron configuration is a way of summarizing the information about the electrons of an atom.
(this is what I used)
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)
Answer:
Molar mass and Mass
Explanation:
The relationship between mass and number of moles is given as;
Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass
Mass = 1.6 g
Molar mass of HCl = ( 1 + 35.5 ) = 36.5 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.6 g / 36.5 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.0438 mol
