Is francium likely to be reduced in a chemical reaction?
No. Francium is a Group I element, and it is extremely reactive ... explosively with water ... more than potassium and sodium. It will be oxidized of one electron.
Is potassium oxide element or compound?
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.
What happens to atoms in a oxidation reduction reaction?
The oxidation state of one atom increases while another decreases.
What is difference between potassium atom and molecule?
an atom is a nucleus,[ nutrons and protons] and a number of electrons whirring around it. a molecule is a combination of two or more atoms to make something new
Which is easily oxidized metal aluminium or lead?
Aluminium is more easily oxidized than lead.
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 potassium chloride is more soluble in water than sucrose?
Potassium chloride is more soluble in water. However, in general, both compounds are highly soluble in water.
What does a reducing agent do in a redox reaction?
It oxidizes another atom, molecule or an ion. WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight
What is the difference between a sodium atom and a potassium atom?
Sodium and potassium are two different albeit similar elements. A neutral sodium atom has 11 protons, 11 electrons and typically 12 neutrons. It forms and ion with 10 electrons. It has an atomic radius of 186 picometers. Potassium has a large, heavier atom than sodium A neutral potassium atom has 19 protons, 19 electrons ans usually 20 neutrons. It forms an ion with 18 electrons. Potassium's atomic radius is 227 picometers. Additionally, potassium is somewhat more reactive than sodium and has a lower melting point.
How many valence electrons are transferred from the nitrogen atom to potassium in the formation of the compound?
Potassium loses one valence electron to the more electronegative nitrogen to form the compound potassium notride

The oxidation state of one atom increases while another decreases.
What is more flammable hexane or potassium sulfate?
Hexane is a highly flammable liquid, C6 H14. Potassium sulfate is an inorganic salt. You'll never get it to burn.
Why acidity increases with increasing oxidation state?
This happens for two reasons: 1) When the central atom of an oxyacid is highly oxidized, that implies that there are several highly electronegatives atoms bonded to that central atom. Those electronegative atoms will pull electron density toward themselves, making the bonds in the molecule more polar. Specifically, the O-H bond will become more polar. As the electron density between the O and H lessens, there is less of an attachment of the O to the H, so the dissociation of the H becomes more likely. Therefore, acidity is increased. 2) When the central atom of an oxyacid is highly oxidized, that implies that there are several highly electronegatives atoms bonded to that central atom. When the H has left, and the molecule is left as a conjugate base, the negative charge will generally be stabilized by the presence electronegative atoms, who will gladly take a share in the electron density, thereby smearing out the negative charge that results. A stable base is a weak base, so the fact that the resulting conjugate base does not have a highly condensed, localized charge, implies that it will not have a strong affinity for the H+ now in the solution. Thus most of the acid will dissociate, and will remain that way.
Which results in a more highly valued atom adding or subtracting a proton from a gold nucleus?
Subtracting a proton from a gold nucleus makes the atom a platinum atom.
Why does lithium have a smaller atomic radius then potassium?
because the second ionisation means removing the second electron from the potassium atom. Potassium only has one electrin in its outer most shell so the second electron would be in another electron shell which is closer to the nucleus meaning there is a stronger attraction to that electron because of the protons in the nucleus which are positive and attrct the negative electrons so more energy is needed to remove the second electron
