Question

What is the balanced molecular equation for the reaction? 

The image contains a partial periodic table highlighting certain groups and elements, along with an explanation of forming the chemical compound KCl.

**Periodic Table Segments:**

- **Group 1A:**
  - Elements: Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (Potassium), Rb (Rubidium), Cs (Cesium), Fr (Francium)
  
- **Group 2A:**
  - Elements: Be (Beryllium), Mg (Magnesium), Ca (Calcium), Sr (Strontium), Ba (Barium), Ra (Radium)
  
- **Group 7A (Halogens):**
  - Elements: F (Fluorine), Cl (Chlorine), Br (Bromine), I (Iodine), At (Astatine)
  - "Halogens" is written above this column in green.

**Chemical Compound Formation:**

- The equation "+1 -1 = 0" explains the formation of potassium chloride (KCl).
- The potassium (K) ion has a charge of +1.
- The chloride (Cl) ion has a charge of -1.
- When combined, the charges balance each other out to form a neutral compound (KCl).

This visual representation helps illustrate how elements from Group 1A can form compounds with halogens from Group 7A, showcasing the basic principles of ionic bonding where oppositely charged ions attract to attain electrical neutrality.
