Answer:
Atoms with<u>2</u>or less electrons in the outermost level tend to lose electrons
Answer:
The answer to your question is given below.
Explanation:
Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.
Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.
Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.
Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.

We use acids and bases in everyday life for cooking and cleaning
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The given chemical reaction shows that hydrogen cyanide acid has been added to water which results in the formation of hydronium ion and cyanide ion.
Also, when we add a base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to HCN then it will help in accepting a proton () from hydrogen cyanide. As a result, formation of anion will be rapid and easy.
This will make the system not to do any extra work. So, amount of work done by system will decrease.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, add solid NaOH to the reaction (assume no volume change) will decrease the amount of work the system could perform.
