Is potassium hydroxide contains potassium oxygen and helium?

NO!!! Potassium hydroxide contains;- 1 X potassium(K) 1 x Oxygen (O) 1 x Hydrogen (H). To give the formula 'KOH'. NB Helium is 'He'. It is the most unreactive element of all. It remains in the monatomic gaseous state. So it is not part of potassium hydroxide.

Why do potassium oxide and potassium chloride give off the same colour of light in a flame test?

Potassium ions are responsible for the characteristic violet color observed in flame tests. Both potassium oxide and potassium chloride contain potassium ions that emit the same color of light when heated in a flame due to the same electronic transitions in the potassium atoms.


Is potassium permanganate an element?

Why is there only one oxygen ion in magnesium oxide?

Magnesium oxide has a chemical formula of MgO because magnesium (Mg) has a +2 charge and oxygen (O) has a -2 charge. When these ions combine, one magnesium ion and one oxygen ion are needed to balance out the charges and form a stable compound.
