Oxidation state of K in KO2 is - 0.5 because its structure is K-O=O .
K2O is potassium oxide
K2O is potassium oxide
4k + o2 -> 2 k2o
K2O is an IONIC compound. containing K+ and O2-
Oxidation state of K in KO2 is - 0.5 because its structure is K-O=O .
KO2 is rare and is called potassium superoxide. It consists of K+ ion and O^2- ion. In this case, the oxidation number of O would be 1-. If, however, you meant to ask about K2O (potassium oxide), then the oxidation number of O would be 2-
K2O is potassium oxide
K2O is potassium oxide
Three potassium oxides are known: K2O, KO2, K2O2.
4k + o2 -> 2 k2o
K2O is potassium oxide, which is an ionic compound.
K2O is an IONIC compound. containing K+ and O2-
The balanced equation is 2HCl + K2O -> H2O + 2KCl.
K2O is potassium oxide.
We know that K2O is the chemical formula for potassium oxide.
Potassium oxide (K2O) is an ionic compound, not a molecule, and does not have a Lewis structure.
