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.

Sav [38]

Answer:

1. 1

2. 2

3. 6

4. 8

Explanation:

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

1. Li is the symbol for the chemical element known as Lithium: it has 1 valence electron. The electronic configuration of lithium is 1s²2s¹

2. Mg is the symbol for the chemical element known as Magnesium: it has 2 valence electrons. The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p63s²

3. O is the symbol for the chemical element known as Oxygen: it has 6 valence electrons. The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p⁴.

4. Ne is the symbol for the chemical element known as Neon: it has 8 valence electrons.
