metal : potassium
behavior: catches fire immediately with only a little heating. Burns fiercly with a lilac flame.
product : potassium oxide
equation: K2O
equation: K+O2------->K2O
potassium does react with oxygen. HOPE I HELPED UMICHAEL:)
yes, potassium does react when put with oxygen. When you put them together you get a mixture and a bad combination Like most metals it will react to form a metal oxide: 4 K + O2 ---> 2 K2O
it depends on the size of the piece. small pieces will just melt, large will go up in flames
It is a synthesis, or combination reaction. It produces potassium oxide. The balanced equation for that reaction is:
4K + O2 --> 2K2O.
It catches fire and burns fiercely
Potassium + Oxygen = Potassium Oxide
Ionic bond
They form an ionic bond, i believe, because potassium is a metal and hydrogen is a nonmetal...
No it doesn't .. Ionic compounds are formed between a metal and no-metal. Oxygen is non-metal and bromine as well. However they from a Covalent bond.
There are multiple molecular compounds which contain the elements potassium (K) and oxygen (O). A common chemical group wholly comprised of these two elements is phosphate, PO4 -3.
An Ionic Bond.
A covalent bond
The carbon-oxygen and carbon-hydrogen bonds are covalent. Any bond formed by potassium is ionic.
Ionic bond is formed in K2Se
an Ionic compound
They form an ionic bond, i believe, because potassium is a metal and hydrogen is a nonmetal...
An ionic bond. The formula should be: K2O
When only potassium and oxygen, the compound usually formed has the formula K2O. Under certain conditions, a compound with formula K2O2 can also be formed.
anion
Yes. Potassium will react readily with oxygen to form potassium peroxide.
Yes, Potassium Fluoride is formed by an ionic bond between a K+ ion and a F- ion.
it is water
polar covalent
Not a question
