Answer:
4 valence electrons
Despite the fact that the word silicon has a ubiquitous affiliation with all things electronic, Si itself is not a good electrical conductor. It has 4 valence electrons, meaning that filling its outer shell it can form a very strong lattice with 4 neighboring Si atoms-with no un-bonded electrons remaining
The atomic mass of K is 39
from Avogadro's law
39g of K contains 6.02x10^23 atoms
therefore if
39=6.02x19^23
X=5.11×10^22
making X the subject of the formula
X= (5.11×10^22×39)÷6.02×10^23
X= 33g
By crushing the salt, you are performing a physical change because you aren't altering the chemical makeup of the salt, just the physical form. Hope this helps! :)
