Potassium oxide: K₂O.
There's no need for prefixes since K₂O is an ionic compound.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Find the two elements on a periodic table:
- Potassium- K- on the left end of period four.
- Oxygen- O- near the right end of periodic two.
Elements on the bottom-left corner of the periodic table are metals. Those on the top-right corner are nonmetals.
- Potassium is a metal,
- Oxygen is a nonmetal.
A metal and a nonmetal combine to form an ionic compound. Potassium oxide is likely to be an ionic compound. It contains two types of ions:
- Potassium ions: Potassium is group 1 of the periodic table. It is an alkaline metal. Like other alkaline metals such as sodium Na, potassium K tends to lose one electron and form ions of charge +1 in compounds. The ion would be K⁺.
- Oxide ions from oxygen: Oxygen is the second most electronegative element on the periodic table. It tends to gain two electrons and form the oxide ion
when it combines with metals.
The two types of ions carry opposite charges. They shall pair up at a certain ratio such that they balance the charge on each other. The charge on each
ion is twice that on a
ion. Each
would pair up with two
. Hence the subscript in the formula:
.
There are two classes of compounds:
- Covalent compounds, which need prefixes, and
- Ionic compounds, which need no prefix.
Prefixes are needed only in covalent compounds. For instance in the covalent compound carbon dioxide
, the prefix di- indicates that there are two oxygen atoms in the formula
. However, there's no need for prefix in ionic compounds such as
.

Explanation:
This reaction is known as Ketone hydrolisis in acid medium. This involves the formation of an hemi cetal, and then, the acetal. This is often used to convert ketones or aldehydes in ethers.
The first step involves the reaction with the acid. The carbonile reacts with the acid and forms an alcohol there. The next step is the reaction of the alcohol, in this case, the methanol to form the hemi cetal. Then in the third step, we repeat the first step, using acid to turn the OH group into a great leaving group such water. Then the water leaves the molecule, leaving the space wide open in the next step for methanol, and the acetal is formed.

Answer:
There are
grams contained in all the seawater in the world.
Explanation:
At first let is determinate the total mass of seawater (
), measured in grams, in the world by definition of density and considering that mass is distributed uniformly:

Where:
- Density of seawater, measured in grams per liters.
- Volume of seawater, measured in liters.
If
and
, then:


The total mass of sodium chloride is determined by the following ratio:


Given that
and
, the total mass of sodium chloride in all the seawater in the world is:

There are
grams contained in all the seawater in the world.
If it is a multiple answer question, then "The areas with the rivers will have the most plants" and " The areas with ponds will have more animals" would be your best answers. If it is a single answer question, then it would be best to go with the answer with 'The areas with the rivers will have more plant life",. The reason being, is that when there is a lot of water flow, there is more plant life around.
