Given :
A chemical compound .
To Find :
Fix the formula for and write the full correct formula.
Solution :
We know, Potassium( K ) and Fluorine( F ) both have a valency of 1 i.e potassium can donate one electron and Fluorine can accept one electron only.
So, the chemical formula is wrong because no element has filled electron.
Therefore, to stabilise the molecule, 1 Potassium atom should make a bond from 1 Fluorine i.e KF ( correct formula ) .
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
In addition to mathematics, physics and astronomy, Newton also had an interest in alchemy, mysticism, and theology.
The atomic mass would not change since the mass of an electron is negligible compared to the mass of protons and neutrons
Answer:
Non metals join to form covalent bond.
Explanation:
Covalent bond:
It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.
The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.
For example:
In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.
Both atoms bonded through covalent bond.
In Cl₂ both chlorine atoms are bonded through the covalent bond.
