Interpretation:
Whether potassium nitrate incorporates ionic bonding, covalent bonding or both, is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
An ionic bond is formed when two ions of opposite charges combine due to the electrostatic forces of attraction. Ionic compounds are formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal. Metals have the tendency to lose electrons. Metals lose electrons to form cations whereas non-metals gain electrons to form anions. Cations and anions attract each other and form ionic compounds.
Covalent compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms. Covalent bonding usually occurs between non-metals. In covalent bonding, there is a mutual attraction between two nuclei and two electrons that reside between them.

All the nitrogen in a different 0.200 g sample of the compound was converted to NH3, which was found to weigh 0.0238 g. Finally, the chlorine in a 0.125 g sample of the compound was converted to Cl- and by reacting it with AgNO3, all of the chlorine was recovered as the solid AgCl. The AgCl, when dried was found to weigh 0.251 g. What is the empirical formulaarrow_forwardPlease correct answer and don't use hand rating and don't use Ai solutionarrow_forward
