Answer:

D. It is extremely reactive.​

Explanation:

Potassium has atomic number of 19 and belongs to the group 1 elements.

A. It is dull and brittle

This is not true as potassium is a metal with a silver lustre.

B. It is not reactive

This is false. Because it is a group 1 element, it would readily lose it's electron to achieve octet configuration making it a reactive metal.

C. It is white and hard.

Potassium is a white metal, however it is not hard. Rather it is soft.

D. It is extremely reactive.​

This is correct. Because it is a group 1 element, it would readily lose it's electron to achieve octet configuration making it a reactive metal.

Select True or False: A "gas" is a substance in which the molecules are separated on the average by distances that are large com
marta [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The gaseous state is characterized in that the cohesion forces are usually null, in which the particles have their maximum mobility. The particles tend to occupy all the available volume, so their shape and volume are variable. The gaseous state is a dispersed state of matter, which means that the molecules are separated by distances much larger than the diameter of the gas molecules.
