Which element would most likely form an ionic bond with nitrogen (n)?
select one:
a. o
b. p
c. c
d. k

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).

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.
