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.

At STP, which substance has metallic bonding?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Silver.  For the most part only metals can have metallic bonding.  Ammonium chloride has ionic bonding (poly-atomic cation + nonmetal=ionic bonding), iodine is a diatomic element so it will form a covalent bond with itself, and barium oxide has ionic bonding (metal+nonmetal or metal+poly-atomic anion=ionic bonding).

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Citric acid is a naturally occurring compound. what orbitals are used to form each indicated bond? be sure to answer all parts.2
Rina8888 [55]

Answer : The orbitals that are used to form each indicated bond in citric acid is given below as per the attachment.

Answer 1) σ Bond a : C has SP^{2}  O has SP^{2} .

Explanation : The orbitals of oxygen and carbon which are involved in SP^{2} hybridization to form sigma bonds. This is observed at 'a' position in the citric acid molecule.

Answer 2) π Bond a: C has π orbitals and  O also has π  orbitals.

Explanation : The pi-bond at the 'a'position has carbon and oxygen atoms which undergoes pi-bond formation. And has pi orbitals of oxygen and carbon involved in the bonding process.

Answer 3) Bond b:  O SP^{3}  H has only S orbital involved in bonding.

Explanation : The bonding at 'b' position involves oxygen SP^{3} hydrogen atoms in it. It has SP^{3} hybridized orbitals and S orbital of hydrogen involved in the bonding.

Answer 4) Bond c:   C is SP^{3}  O is also SP^{3}

Explanation : The bonding involved at 'c' position has carbon and oxygen atoms involved in it. Both the atoms involves the orbitals of SP^{3} hybridized bonds.

Answer 5) Bond d:   C atom has SP^{3}  C atom has SP^{3}

Explanation : At the position of 'd' the bonding between two carbon atoms is found to be SP^{3}. Therefore, the orbitals that undergo SP^{3} hybridization are SP^{3}.

Answer 6) Bond e : C1 containing O SP^{2}    

C2 is SP^{3}

Explanation : The carbon atom which contains oxygen along with a double bond has SP^{2} hybridized orbitals involved in the bonding process; whereas the carbon at C2 has SP^{3} hybridized orbitals involved during the bonding. This is for the 'e' position.
