Potassium Iodide, symbol K+I-

K+ (19) - 1 = 18 electrons and 18 * 3 = 54, so

I- (53) + 1 = 54 electrons

What item comes first in the formula for an ionic compound?

Typically in writing an ionic compound, the cation is written first, then the anion.


Binary ionic compound in which the anion and cation each have 10 electrons?

An example of a binary ionic compound where both the anion and cation have 10 electrons is lithium fluoride (LiF). Lithium is a cation with 3 electrons, and fluoride is an anion with 9 electrons. When lithium loses an electron and fluoride gains an electron, they form LiF with both having 10 electrons in their outer shells.


Is lithium a cation or anion?

What type of ionic compound does a single element cation and single anion element anion?

A single element cation and single element anion form a binary ionic compound, where one element is a metal and the other is a nonmetal. The metal forms the cation by losing electrons, while the nonmetal forms the anion by gaining electrons. Examples include NaCl (sodium chloride) and KBr (potassium bromide).


Is an ion a cation or anion?

An ion can be either a cation or an anion, depending on whether it carries a positive or negative charge, respectively. Cations have a positive charge because they have lost electrons, while anions have a negative charge because they have gained electrons.


What happens when you mix a metal cation with a nonmetal anion?

When you mix a metal cation with a nonmetal anion, they will form an ionic compound through ionic bonding. The metal cation will donate electrons to the nonmetal anion, resulting in the formation of a stable compound with a neutral charge. This compound will have a crystal lattice structure and exhibit properties different from those of the individual elements.


Which goes first in writing a formula the cation or anion?

The cation (positively charged ion) typically goes first in writing a chemical formula, followed by the anion (negatively charged ion). This convention helps identify the structure of the compound and how the elements interact with each other.
