What is associated with the formation of a negative ion from a halogen atom and a positive ion from an alkali metal atom, according to Kössel's observations?

Options

  1. AElectron sharing
  2. BGain and loss of electrons
  3. CProton exchange
  4. DNucleus merging

Correct answer

B. Gain and loss of electrons

Step-by-step solution

Kössel's observations suggest that the formation of a negative ion from a halogen atom and a positive ion from an alkali metal atom is associated with the gain and loss of electrons by the respective atoms.
