Answer:
Potassium cation = K⁺²
Explanation:
The metal cation in K₂SO₄ is K⁺². While the anion is SO₄²⁻.
All the metals have tendency to lose the electrons and form cation. In given compound the metal is potassium so it should form the cation. The overall compound is neutral.
The charge on sulfate is -2. While the oxidation state of potassium is +1. So in order to make compound overall neutral there should be two potassium cation so that potassium becomes +2 and cancel the -2 charge on sulfate and make the charge on compound zero.
2K⁺² , SO₄²⁻

Explanation:
Answer:
Average atomic mass = 17.5 amu.
Explanation:
Given data:
X-17 isotope = atomic mass17.2 amu, abundance:78.99%
X-18isotope = atomic mass 18.1 amu, abundance 10.00%
X-19isotope = atomic mass:19.1 amu, abundance: 11.01%
Average atomic mass of X = ?
Solution:
Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) + (abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100
Average atomic mass = (78.99×17.2)+(10.00×18.1) +(11.01+ 19.1) /100
Average atomic mass = 1358.628 + 181 +210.291 / 100
Average atomic mass = 1749.919 / 100
Average atomic mass = 17.5 amu.
Ice has a lower density than the density of water.
Answer:
Potassium
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
Explanation:
The atom having only one electron its outermost shell must belong to an element in group one of the periodic table.
Having noted that, we proceed to find out what element in group one that has the atom just described in the question.
That atom must belong to an element in the fourth period. The only group 1 element in the fourth period is potassium.
The electron configuration of potassium is;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
