Explanation:
Cations are positively charged ions with fewer electrons than protons. To partake in reaction, metals lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. It has lost valence electrons and wold have a positive charge associated with it.
Potassium is a group 1 element. A metal.
Potassium has 1 valence electron so it loses the valence electron to form a stable octet.
A potassium ion has a positive charge and therefore cannot be an anion but is a cation.
The group number pretty much denotes the number of valence electrons.
Group 1 = 1
Group 2 = 2
Group 17 = 7
Group 18 = 8
Answer:
~1.5 g/cm3 and it does NOT float in water.
Explanation:
If you look at the graph, Object A weighs ~6 grams and is ~4 cm3 in volume
Density = Mass/Volume
So 6 grams/4 cm3 = 1.5 g/cm3
Water has a density of 1 g/cm3 and because Object A density is higher than that of water, it sinks.

Basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions which can be produced by one molecule of an acid
The difference between the two is that the values in discontinuous variation are fixed, while the values in continuous variation can be changed. :)
