(b) What are the electron configurations for K. and Cl?
(c) Based on your answer in (b), which noble gas atoms have the equivalent electronic configurations for each respective ion?
2. Upon examination of a periodic table, what do the elements in Group VIA have in common (in terms of their electron configuration)?
3. Based on the following ionic radii, rNa+ =0.098 nm, ro2-= 0.132 nm:
(a) What is the coulombic force of attraction between Na+ and 02-(which forms Nax0)?
(b) What is the repulsive force?
(0) Out of the menu of materials, which material(s) would this compound fall under?
4. (a) Define the 3 primary bonds. (b) Define the secondary bond?
5. Determine the percent ionic character of the interatomic bonds for the following compounds:

a) brass,
b) polycarbonate,
c) strontium sulfide (SFS),
d) solid krypton (Kr), and
e) aluminum nitride (AIN)?
