Question

Potassium has a 1+ charge, and oxygen has a 2− charge. A Lewis dot diagram should contain two potassium atoms and one oxygen atom to show how these atoms form an ionic bond. (1 point) True False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Took the quiz got it right

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Potassium is a group one element with a charge of +1 and oxygen with a charge of -2,

A lewis dot diagram should contain two potassium atoms and one oxygen atoms to show that they form an ionic bond.

• To form an ionic bond, an atom will either lose or gain electrons.
• The oxygen atom has a charge of -2,
• Potassium has charge of +1
• To make the bond occur, two atoms of potassium that are positively charge will bond with the oxygen with a charge of -2.
