Question

14. (a) Write the electron dot structures for potassium and chlorine.
(b) Show the formation of KCl by the transfer of electrons.
(c) Name the ions present in the compound, KCI.​

Answer 1

The correct answer for ions present in KCl is K⁺ and Cl⁻ which forms KCl by ionic bond (complete transfer of electron from K to Cl ).

Since Potassium has 1 electron in its outermost shell , so its electron dot structure involves K with one dot .

Name the ions present in the compound, KCI.

▶️ KCL has K+ and Cl- ions where potassium ion is cation and chloride ion is anion.
