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.

Crazy boy [7]
 <span>Each atom in an ionic compound tends either to empty or complete the shell to 8 electrons. So when the number of electrons on the external shell is near 8 , the atom tends to attract electrons to complete the shell giving a positive ion called anion 
Conversely when the number of electrons is small the atom gives these electrons to form a positive ion called a cation</span>

In 1–2 sentences, explain why weather can be predicted only as probable, not definite.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Meteorologists use computer models to predict the weather. And computational power has come an extended way. Yet meteorologists still have trouble correctly predicting the weather over some days. Sometimes they don’t even comprehend right over 24 hours! Why does this happen? Their ability to predict the weather is restricted by the number of available data, the time available to research it, and therefore the complexity of weather events.
