K2O, or potassium oxide, is classified as an inorganic compound and an ionic oxide. It consists of potassium ions (K⁺) and oxide ions (O²⁻) and typically forms a white solid. K2O is commonly used in fertilizers and has applications in glass making and ceramics. It is also considered a basic oxide due to its reaction with acids to form potassium salts.
K2O will react with water producing KOH , Lye, and produce heat.
K: 36.3/39 = 0.931 molesO: 7.43/16 = 0.464 molesDividing both by 0.464, one gets K = 2 and O = 1Empirical formula = K2O (potassium oxide)
We know that K2O is the chemical formula for potassium oxide.
A molecule.A molecule consists of one or more atoms chemically combined. If the atoms are not the same ie not two oxygen atoms but two oxygen and a hydrogen atom then the a compound is formed.

potassium oxide
The compound with the formula K2O is potassium oxide. It is an ionic compound composed of potassium cations (K+) and oxide anions (O2-).
The compound MgS is called magnesium sulfide, the compound NH4Cl is called ammonium chloride, and the compound K2O is called potassium oxide.
Potassium oxide is a ionic lattice which is made out of potassium ions and oxide ions. Therefore, separate 'molecules of this compound do not exist. The empirical formula itself is K2O which is used also as the chemical formula for the compound.
Three potassium oxides are known: K2O, KO2, K2O2.
