Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The formation of an ionic bond between potassium and iodine with the help of electron-dot structure needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Electron-dot structures are mainly helpful when used to represent the formation of
Answer to Problem 108A
Ionic bond is formed between potassium and iodine by transferring one valence electron from potassium to iodine.
Explanation of Solution
Potassium is a group 1 metal and it has one valence electron while iodine is a group 17 elements and has seven valence electrons. Draw the electron dot structures depicting both elements.
In order to form a stable, neutral ionic compound, potassium gives its valance electron to iodine. Then iodine have full octet of valence electrons and
The electrostatic force that binds oppositely charged particles together in an ionic compound is referred to as an ionic bond.
