Briefly workout the relationship between these constants:
In consideration of the decopmposition of hydrogen iodide.

Kc require (aqueous/gaseous) products to be on the numerator and (aqueous/gaseous) reactants to be in the denominator, whereas Ksp will require (aqueous) products to be on the numerator and (aqueous) reactants to be in the denominator. Both require products on top and reactants in the bottom.

K = [products] / [reactants]

Kc is used when a reaction reaches dynamic equilibrium, whereas Ksp is used when an insoluble ionic solid dissolved by a tiny amount in a solution, as well as in determining whether or not a precipitate will form.

Kc can be used to measure equilibrium concentration for all reactions, whereas Ksp is limited to only ionic compounds' solubility.

The decomposition of HI (g) will required the use of Kc since the species are all gaseous, and gases cannot be ionic.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
