Question

What monatomic ions would you expect potassium (Z = 19) and bromine (Z = 35) to form?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Potassium ion will be formed when potassium atom loses one electron to become positively charged

K₁₉ →→ K₁₉⁺ + e⁻

Bromine ion is formed by gain of electron

Br₃₅ + e⁻ → Br₃₅⁻
