How does the written Lewis structure for potassium chloride differ from that of hydrogen chloride
Accepted Answer
The Lewis structure for potassium chloride (KCl) shows the transfer of one electron from potassium to chlorine, resulting in the formation of K+ and Cl- ions. In contrast, the Lewis structure for hydrogen chloride (HCl) shows a covalent bond between hydrogen and chlorine, where the electrons are shared between the two atoms.
