Answer:
Potassium is an element, with the symbol K
Explanation:
An element is something that cannot be broken down any further, for example, calcium, its Ca.
A compound is when you bond two or more elements. Compounds can be broken down into its original elements, for example, H₂O, it contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen (both hydrogen and oxygen are elements).
The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³
If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³
The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.
Zn, Cd, and Ag are transition metals that usually form only one monoatomic cation.
A monatomic cation is a cation made of only one atom.
Cations are positively charged ions, in this example Ag⁺, Cd²⁺ and Zn²⁺.
These cations form only one type of ion, while iron and copper form more than one type of cations.
Iron and copper form cations with different charges (Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cu⁺, Cu²⁺).
It depends on electron configuration which type would be formed.
Electron configuration of zinc atom: ₃₀Zn 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s²
Transition metals are elements in the d-block of the Periodic table.

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.
