Answer:
Explanation:
Potassium nitrate is a soluble salt which readily dissolves in a polar solvent, such as water. When solid potassium nitrate is dissolved in water, it dissociates into potassium cations and nitrate anions.
Due to the resultant ionic charges, the polar water molecules attract the resultant ions and potassium nitrate ions become hydrated, that is, surrounded by water molecules.
Nitrate, our anion, attracts the partially positive ends of water molecules by attracting them via hydrogen atom.
Potassium, the cation, attracts the partially negative end of water molecules by attracting via oxygen atom.

Ionization is the term <span>refers to the formation of ions as a result of a chemical reaction.
</span>Ionization<span>, in general, occurs whenever sufficiently energetic charged particles or radiant energy travel through gases, liquids, or solids. Charged particles, such as alpha particles and electrons from radioactive materials, cause extensive </span>ionization<span>along their paths.</span>
It is actually something standardized more so than theoretical, however in terms of atoms in general the electrons are based on the amount of electronic shells that an atom has and the amount of electrons that atom can accommodate. In the case of sodium, it has three shells with 2 electrons on the first shell which is the maximum, 8 on the second shell which is also the max and 1 on their final shell
So simply put an ATOM of Sodium (Na) has 23 electrons because it has 23 protons which is a fact
