Best Answer

Potassium and calcium are both in period 4 of the Periodic Table because they both have 4 electrons in their outermost energy level. This means they both have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons, which puts them in the same period. Additionally, they both have the same number of shells, which is why they are both in period 4.

Reason why calcium hydroxide is used to detect carbon iv oxide while potassium hydroxide solution is not?

Both hydroxides will react with carbon dioxide to form their respective carbonates. Calcium carbonate is largely insoluble in water and so it will form a visible solid precipitate. Potassium carbonate is soluble in water, so there will be no visible change to the solution.
