- ( ME 213: Properties of Material) Calculate the force of attraction between a K+ and an O2- ion the centers of whichare separated by a distance of 1.5 nm. My understanding is that in ionic bonds all atoms acquire stable configuration. Here potassium gives oxygen one electron. But oxygen needs two electrons to be stable. Hence it will not be stable.arrow_forwardThe Earth's atmosphere is made up of 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen. The greater amount of Nitrogen than Oxygen in the atmosphere is due to* low temperature in the atmosphere. greater reactivity of nitrogen than Oxygen. greater reactivity of Oxygen than Nitrogen. more reactions producing Nitrogen.
