Describe how the bonds are formed in potassium chloride .

Asking about the intermolecular force -between the

Lattice bond energy is holding the structure together which exist between potassium and chlorine .

Each chlorine and K is set in an alternate manner the eneegy that exist between the two is the lattice
energy because its holding them together .and ionic bond is taking place because electrons are being
transfered

Describe how the bonds in iodine are formed

Van der waal force are attracting the atoms of I2

Iodine have more electrons which align themselves to form delta negative and delta negative dipoles
which therefore make it into a solid state .

Electrical conductivity of KCL—does not conduct in the solid state (conditionial aqueous or molten)

Electrical conductivity of I2---no( has no mobile electrons)

Solubility in water KCL---high

Solubility in water I2—no

Metals conduct bcz of the free mobile electrons .

All potassium salts are soluble and also most chloride salts are souble .

Almost all ionic compounds are soluble .

Covalent non-polar.
Bpt of h20 is higher than h2s.

NH3AIF3. Include appropriate eqn .
