Question

When potassium forms a compound with iodine, one electron is transferred from the atom to the atom. What type of bonding exists between the potassium and the iodine? What is the electrical charge formed on the species? Can the ions in the crystal of an ionic compound move? What can be done to an ionic solid so that the ions are capable of motion? How can we cause the ions in a solution to move towards a specific direction? Alcohol in water is a non-electrolyte (not a conductor of electricity) because alcohol is a compound and does not in water.

Explanation / Answer

1) one electron is tranfered from potassium to iodine

2) ionic bond exist between K and I

3) +1 and -1 charges

4) no . ions do not move

5) we have to dissolved this in water . or convert it inot molten state

6) by applying electric field ions move opposite direction.

7) covalent compound    ,      give ions in water
