Because the potassium atom has 19 electrons and there is four layers of electrons as 2, 8, 8, 1. And for potassium ion, there is 18 electrons. It has there layers of electrons as 2, 8, 8. So the radius of potassium atom is larger than potassium ion.

How can a atom help you see both unity and diversity
Mariana [72]

Atoms show us the basic proverb about the strength and the bond when they are Unity and Diversified.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Every basic matter in the earth is composed of atoms. It is the smallest unit of the matter which is taken to observe the properties of the whole element.
  • The atom consists of different energy levels and consist of protons electrons and neutrons.
  • The atoms when are compactly arranged it result in the great strength required to bring the deformation in shape which shows that unity is always great.
  • But in the liquid and gas, the atoms are arranged in a randomly dispersed pattern which shows that they can be separated and involved in any process easier to get the heterogeneous product easily which is an example for Diversity.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

More products (Fe2O3 and SO2) will be produced

Explanation:

In the reaction:

4 FeS2(s) + 11 O2(g) ⇌ 2 Fe2O3(s) + 8 SO2(g)

FeS2 is a reactant. When a reactant is added to a reaction which has already reached the equilibrium, more product is produced, so that the equilibrium is reestablished again
