I guess you could call them that. In chemistry, we call them Metalloids though.
Explanation:
an increase in concentration increases the rate of the reaction. This is because there are more reactant particles available which allows for more effective collisions between reactant particles in a given period of time. More effective collisions bring about a faster rate of reaction.
Inorganic molecules are composed of other elements. They can contain hydrogen or carbon, but if they have both, they are organic.
Answer: K only has 1 valence electron. It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.
Explanation: A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons. But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell. Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals. Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1. The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level. So it has a valency of 1. This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4). When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1. The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.
