Why is potassium chloride ionic?
KCl is potassium chloride. Potassium is an alkali metal that needs to lose one valence electron to expose a full outer shell. Chloride is a halide that needs to gain one valence electron to fill its outer shell. Potassium will 'donate' an electron to chloride, which results in potassium having a 1+ charge and chloride having a 1- charge. The positive and negative charge attract each other, which creates the ionic bond.
What is the valence of potassium?
1 valence electron
Can potassium chloride be prepared from zinc and hydrogen chloride?
No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.
What is the name for 2KCl?
Potassium Chloride in fact 2 Potassium Chloride
Is potassium chloride oxidising or reducing?
Potassium chloride is only a salt.
Why is ferric chloride preferred over potassium chloride in a wound?
coagulating power of an electrolyte is proportional to its valency. Since valence of Fe3+ is higher compared to that of k+ , it is preferred over potassium chloride
