Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why \( KHF_2 \) is known while \( KHCl_2 \) is not, we can break down the reasoning into several steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Composition of \( KHF_2 \) and \( KHCl_2 \) - \( KHF_2 \) consists of potassium ions \( K^+ \) and the polyatomic ion \( HF_2^- \). - \( KHCl_2 \) consists of potassium ions \( K^+ \) and the polyatomic ion \( HCl_2^- \). ### Step 2: Analyzing the Structure of \( HF_2^- \) - The \( HF_2^- \) ion is formed when one hydrogen atom is bonded to two fluorine atoms. ...
