Question

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, KCl.​

Answer 1

Answer:

b)The transfer of electrons showing the formation of KCl can be illustrated as follows in the figure: The "electronic configuration" of "Potassium" (K) is 2,8,8,1 and the "electronic configuration" of "Chlorine" (Cl) is 2,7. ... Thus, the bond formed between K and Cl is "ionic bond" or "electrovalent bond".

c) For example, KCl, an ionic compound that contains K+ and Cl- ions, is named potassium chloride.

i hope you understand better but sorry i don't know the ans of Qa

Answer 2

Answer:

a.KCl has K+ and Cl-.

b.The transfer of electrons showing the formation of KCl can be illustrated as follows in the figure: The "electronic configuration" of "Potassium" (K) is 2,8,8,1 and the "electronic configuration" of "Chlorine" (Cl) is 2,7. ... Thus, the bond formed between K and Cl is "ionic bond" or "electrovalent bond".

C.For example, KCl, an ionic compound that contains K+ and Cl- ions, is named potassium chloride.
