Potassium metal and chlorine gas react vigorously to form potassium chloride. Which statement is correct?
A. K atoms lose an electron and become Ar atoms.
B. Cl atoms gain an electron and become Ar atoms.
C. K atoms gain an electron and attain the same electron configuration as an Ar atom.
D. Cl atoms gain an electron and attain the same electron configuration as an Ar atom.
E. The K and Cl atoms change into different, more stable atoms.
During KCl formation
K atom loose one electron and turn into K+ ion ; which has same electron configuration of Ar
Similarly Cl atom gain an electron turns into Cl- ion. which has same electron configuration of Ar
so during KCl formation ; both atoms has same electron configuration of Ar. But they do not turn into Ar or some other atoms
so correct statement is
D. Cl atoms gain an electron and attain the same electron configuration as an Ar atom.

The alkali metals react with the halogens to form ionic metal halides. What mass of potassium chloride forms when 5.11 L of chlorine gas at 0.943 atm and 286 K reacts with 29.0 g potassium?
Consider the reaction of sodium metal with chlorine gas to from NaCl as shown below. How does each elements in the compounds NaCl attain an octet of electrons? 2 Na(s) + Cl_2 rightarrow 2 NaCl(s) A sodium atom and a chlorine atom share two electrons. A sodium atom loses an electron and the chlorine atom accepts the electron. A chlorine atom loses an electron and the sodium atom accepts the electron. A sodium atom loses an electron and the chlorine...

Help with explanation if possible. Nae Section -Date Now let's look at chlorine A chlorine atom has how many protons Therefore, we know that a chlorine atom has how many electrons? How many electrons will go in the first shell? How many in the second shell? Nucleus How many in the third? Draw this in Figure 2.2 We know that a chlorine atom requires eight electrons in its valence shell to become stable. Will it be easier for chlorine to...
Electron transfer is the term for this process. The resulting anion and cation are attracted by Coulombic forces and an ionic compound is formed. Ionic compounds are neutral: the number of electrons lost in forming the cation(s) must equal the number gained in forming the anion(s). For example, Aluminum (Al, Z = 13, Group 3A or 13) will lose 3 electrons to become Al3+ which is isoelectronic with Neon (Ne), its closest noble gas. To form an ionic compound those...
Consider the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas to form sodium chloride (table salt): 2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s) If the mass of the sodium solid increases by 0.500 g, what mass of sodium metal should have reacted?
