Question

show the formation of kcl by transfer of electrons

Answer 1

Answer:

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. So in order to achieve "stable noble gas configuration", K will give up one electron to form K+ with stable electronic configuration, 2,8,8. On the other hand, Cl, to achieve its nearest noble gas configuration, will accept this one electron from K, to form 2,8.

Thus, the bond formed between K and Cl is "ionic bond" or "electrovalent bond".

Answer 2

Answer:

potassium has one electron in its valance shell and it does not have enough ability to complete its octet by gaining 7 electrons so it losos one electron which is available in its valance shaell while chlorine has 7 electrons in itns valance shell and it gains the electron which is loss by the potassium atom … so a strong ionic bond formed between potassium and chlorine …. the bond between them is single
