The metal is sodium, Na.

<u>Explanation:</u>

K₂O is an ionic compound in which K is in the oxidation state of +1 and it belongs to group 1.

Group 1 elements also form oxides with the metals with the general formula M₂O and M being Na, K, Li and so on.

Metals Like sodium and Potassium are so brittle in nature and also their oxides.

So the other metal that form metal oxide which is brittle as well as ionic in nature, and so the metal oxide is Na₂O.

So the metal is sodium, Na.

Which group of extremophiles does thermus aquaticus belong to
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The correct answer is thermophiles.

Explanation:

Thermus aquaticus are heat resistant bacteria because these bacteria can survive under adverse environmental conditions like high temperature.

These bacteria belong to one of the most heat-loving groups of extremophiles that are thermophiles. Thermophiles are present in volcanic soil, geysers and around deep-sea vents where the temperature is extremely high.

Thermus aquaticus bacteria is used to manufacture an enzyme called Taq DNA polymerase, which is heat resistant and also an important factor in molecular biology.
