The formation of ionic bonds is driven by the difference in electronegativities of the atoms. You can find electronegativiies in a table. In fact the electronegativities of thosw four compounds are N: 3.04, O: 3.44, P: 2.19, C: 2.55 and K: 0.82. That tells you that the bigger difference is with K, then K will most likely form an ionic compound with N. And that is the answer. The position in the periodic tables, and even the kind of elements involved, can guide you about this. O, P and C are neighbors of N, so can predict that they have similar electronegativities, while K is far from N in the periodic table. A good indication of substantial difference in electronegativities. Also, K is a metal while the other elements are non metals. Non metals do not form ionic compound among them, and many metals form ionic compounds with nonmetals.

Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a bond is formed by donating electrons then it is known as an ionic bond.

It is known that nitrogen is a non-metal and it is electron deficient in nature as its electronic distribution is 2, 5. Whereas metals are rich in electrons and therefore, they are able to donate electrons to an electron deficient atom.

Hence, out of the given options K is the only metal and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 1.

Therefore, we can conclude that potassium (K) is the element that would most likely form an ionic bond with nitrogen (N).

Answer from: Gabbymadrid3240

The chemical elements most likely to form covalent bonds are those that share electrons, such as carbon, as opposed to those that take them from another element to form an ionic bond.

If the temperature were raised very high, classically what would we expect the heat capacity per object to be for this one-dimensional system? give a numerical value. chigh t = __ j/k/object (one reason for the discrepancy is that the high-temperature limit assumes that the number of oscillators is large (n > > 1), which is not the case in this tiny system.)

Examine the nuclear reacti why is this classified as a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical reaction? it is not balanced. a new compound is formed. a change has occurred in a nucleus. a new element has been formed.

A2-kg ball b is traveling horizontally at 10 m/s when it strikes 2-kg ball a. ball a is initially at rest and is attached to a spring with constant 100 n/m and an unstretched length of 1.2 m. knowing the coefficient of restitution between a and b is 0.8 and friction between all surfaces is negligible, determine the normal force between a and the ground when it is at the bottom of the hill.
