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)
The coefficient for hydrogen in the balanced equation of solid molybdenum(iV) oxide with gaseous hydrogen is 2
Explanation
Coefficient is defined to as a number in front of a chemical formula in a balanced chemical equation.
The reaction of molybdenum (iv) oxide with gaseous hydrogen is as below,
MoO2 + 2 H2→ Mo +2 H2O
From balanced equation above the coefficient for H2 is 2 since the number in front of H2 is 2
