Are K and Cl molecular?

No, potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl) are not molecular. Potassium is a metallic element that exists as individual atoms, while chlorine is a nonmetal that typically exists as diatomic molecules (Cl₂) in its elemental form. When potassium and chlorine react, they form the ionic compound potassium chloride (KCl), which consists of potassium ions (K⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻) rather than discrete molecular units.


What is molecular mass of potassium in potassium chloride?

Since potassium chloride has the formula KCl and the mass of the lost electron from neutral potassium is negligible compared with the mass of the protons and neutrons in the potassium atom nucleus, the molecular mass of potassium in this compound is the same as the atomic mass of potassium, 39.098.


How do you calculate the molecular weight of KCl?
