What atoms are in potassium bromide?
Potassium bromide has the formula KBr and it contains one atom of Potassium (K) and one atom of Bromine (Br).
What is 39 in potassium?
39 is the atomic mass of one atom of potassium. This is essentially the weight of one atom
How is a potassium atom (K) different from a potassium ion (K )?
Potassium consists of potassium atoms with their valence electrons delocalized throughout the metal, put those electrons still essentially "belong" to their atoms. A potassium ion is a potassium atom that has lost its valence electron to another atom molecule or ion and therefore carries a 1+ charge.
