What is e major atom in potassium?
Potassium is an element, so the only atom in potassium is potassium.
How does potassium become an ion?
When a potassium atom becomes an ion, the potassium atom donates one of its electrons, specifically the only electron in its valence shell, to another more electronegative atoms. The original potassium atom then becomes a potassium cation with formula K+.
How many moles of iodine are needed to react with 5 moles of potassium to create potassium iodide?
Since molecules of potassium contain only single potassium atoms, molecules of iodine contain two atoms, and moles of potassium iodide contain one atom of each element, 2.5 moles of iodine are needed to react completely with 5 moles of potassium.
What substance is made of only one atom?
An element is a pure substance that is made up of only one kind of atom.Elements that can exist as a single atom are the noble gases in Group 18 of the periodic table.
Is potassium metal a pure substance or a mixture?
Potassium metal is a pure substance. In fact, it is an element as well. The reason potassium metal is an element is that it only contains one type of atom (all atoms of potassium have the same number of protons).
What is e major atom in potassium?
Potassium is an element, so the only atom in potassium is potassium.
When a potassium atom reacts with a bromine atom the potassium atom will?
lose only one electron
When a potassium atom reacts with bromine the potassium atom will?
ll lose only 1 electron
How does potassium become an ion?
When a potassium atom becomes an ion, the potassium atom donates one of its electrons, specifically the only electron in its valence shell, to another more electronegative atoms. The original potassium atom then becomes a potassium cation with formula K+.
Is water made from only one kind of atom?
no. a single water molecule is a combination of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
How many moles of iodine are needed to react with 5 moles of potassium to create potassium iodide?
Since molecules of potassium contain only single potassium atoms, molecules of iodine contain two atoms, and moles of potassium iodide contain one atom of each element, 2.5 moles of iodine are needed to react completely with 5 moles of potassium.
What substance is made of only one atom?
An element is a pure substance that is made up of only one kind of atom.Elements that can exist as a single atom are the noble gases in Group 18 of the periodic table.
How many valence electrons are transferred from the nitrogen atom to potassium in the formation of the compond potassium nitride?
Actually. It's 0.
Are elements are a single type of matter?
yes, element are single type of matter or pure substances that is made up of one type of atom only.
How many valence electrons does an atom of potassium have?
4
What does it mean when there are no subscripts in a formula?
No subscripts mean only one atom in formula. Example: KCl - 1 atom of potassium, 1 atom of chlorine.
Is an element made up of only on kind of atom?
Yes, an element only has a single type of atom in it. E.g gold is only comprised of gold atoms. This is different to compounds and molecules, which have mixed types of atoms.
