Potassium phosphate K3PO4
Phosphorus oxide and potassium react to form potassium phosphite, K2HPO3. This compound is commonly used as a fertilizer and fungicide for agricultural purposes.
The ionic compound of K2O is potassium oxide. It is formed from the combination of potassium (K) cations and oxide (O) anions. Its chemical formula is K2O.
K2o *Remember the symbol for potassium is K and not P, which is phosphorus
The chemical formula for the compound formed between potassium and oxygen is K2O.
Three potassium oxides are known: K2O, KO2, K2O2.
Potassium oxide is a ionic lattice which is made out of potassium ions and oxide ions. Therefore, separate 'molecules of this compound do not exist. The empirical formula itself is K2O which is used also as the chemical formula for the compound.
The formula for Phosphorus(V) Oxide [which has 10 oxygen atoms in a molecule] is P4O10.
Potassium oxide is a compound. Compounds are pure substances that contain more than one type of atom. Since potassium oxide contains potassium and oxygen atoms, it is a compound. Elements are pure substances that contain only one type of atom, such as oxygen gas.
The common name of this compound is phosphorus pentaoxide and the systematic name is Potassium(V) Oxide.
potassium oxide
Phosphorus pentoxide or phosphorus(V) oxide.
We know that K2O is the chemical formula for potassium oxide.
