7. Justify why these ions do not exist under normal conditions. (a) K2+ (b) 0-

1 answer:

6 0

K^+ can not exists because electrons are removed from an inner shell. The ion O^- can not exist because it will have an incomplete octet.

<h3>Stability of ions</h3>

Ions are species that contain a positive or a negative charge. When we consider the electron configuration of ions, we can deduce the stability of the ion.

Let us consider the electron configuration of K^2+ which is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 which means that the second electron is to be removed from an inner shell which implies greater energy expenditure hence it does not exist.

In the case of O^-, involves the formation of an ion with an incomplete octet which is not possible.

katrin2010 [14]

A physical property of an element is a property of an element that can observed or measured without changing the chemical nature of the element.

A chemical property of an element is a property of an element that can only be observed or measure when the chemical property of the element is altered or changed.

Based on this;
The boiling point of bromine is a physical property of bromine.
The high reactivity of bromine with many elements is a chemical property of bromine.
