Potassium can be a component of the cream.

<h3>Why does potassium show white-purple flame when burned?</h3>

An element's presence can be determined using a flame test. The potassium in cream of tartar is what gives it its white-purple color.

Low ionization enthalpy elements allow the flame to display color. Due to low ionization enthalpy, when an element is heated, its valence electrons are quickly excited to higher orbits and emit light as they return to their original orbit. Salts of potassium emit a white-purple color when ignited. The cream of tartar's chemical formula is KC₄H₅O₆.

Competition is the interaction between two organisms in which one or both organisms are harmed due to limited resources. Competition occurs when the organisms involved occupy the same niche or utilize the same limited resources.

In this question involving corn plants and milkweed plants. They are said to grow in the same area. Over several years, the milkweed plants have taken over the field and the corn plants no longer have space to grow. In this case, there is a limited space for growth, hence, the corn plant and milkweed COMPETE.

Every oxygen atom has 8 electrons. what can you learn from the electron configuration of oxygen
-BARSIC- [3]
What you can learn, is since there are 2 in the first ring of electrons, that is full, the other 6 are valence electrons which can bond with others, and want to bond with them to finish the ring of 8 electrons.
