ToExplain:Whether sodium and potassium will react to form a bond with each other or not.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Bonds can be of many types such as an ionic bond, covalent bond, etc. Ionic bonds are formed due to the transfer of electrons and covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons due to which a covalent bond can be finally formed.
Both sodium and potassium are metals and both belong to the same group, that is, group-1. Sodium and potassium both have 1 electron in their outermost shell. Since metal-metal don’t react with each other, thus there is no bond formation between sodium and potassium.
Conclusion:
Hence, the bond cannot be formed between sodium and potassiumdue to metal-metal interaction.
