| Question: | 1 Phosphorus (P) + 1 Potassium (K) |
| Solution: | Potassium phosphide (K3P) |
| Chemical Equation: | 3K + P → K3P |
| Explanation: | This reaction involves the transfer of electrons from potassium (K) to phosphorus (P) to form an ionic compound. Potassium readily loses one electron to achieve a stable noble gas configuration, while phosphorus gains three electrons to achieve a stable configuration. 🧪 The resulting compound, potassium phosphide (K3P), is formed by the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged potassium ions (K+) and the negatively charged phosphide ions (P3-) ⚡️. |
