Explanation:
Cations are positively charged ions with fewer electrons than protons. To partake in reaction, metals lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. It has lost valence electrons and wold have a positive charge associated with it.
Potassium is a group 1 element. A metal.
Potassium has 1 valence electron so it loses the valence electron to form a stable octet.
A potassium ion has a positive charge and therefore cannot be an anion but is a cation.
The group number pretty much denotes the number of valence electrons.
Group 1 = 1
Group 2 = 2
Group 17 = 7
Group 18 = 8
Answer:
Explanation:
Sn(WC)2
if it is tungsten carbide this should be correct but there are many versions of carbide
Sn(MC2)2
could also be possible
the 2 next to MC should be a subscript
I believe your answer is 23.
