Hi!
The correct option would be 3.85x10^(24)
To find the number of atoms in 250g of potassium, we need to first calculate the number of atoms in
1 mole of Potassium = 39g which contains 6.022x10^(23) atoms of K
<em>(Avogadro's constant value for the amount of molecules/atoms in one mole of any substance)</em>
<em>Solution</em>
So as 39g of Potassium contains 6.022x10^(23) K atoms
1g of Potassium would contain 6.022x10^(23) / 39 = 1.544 x10^(22) atoms
So 250g of Potassium would contain 1.544x10^(22) x 250 = 3.86x10^(24) atoms
Ionic compounds generally occur between metals and non-metals due to their large electronegativity difference. You can simple go down Group 1 and Group 17 of the periodic table.
Examples:
NaCl (Sodium Chloride)
KCl (Potassium Chloride)
RbCl (Rubidium Chloride)
CsCl (Cesium Chloride)
Answer:
a. in supernovae and star collisions
Explanation:
The periodical table contains some heavier elements, which are formed as neutron stars pairs hit eachother and erupt cataclysmically.
The star emitts very large quantities of energy and neutrons during supernova, which allow for the production of heavier elements than iron, such as uranium and gold. All these elements are ejected into space during the supernova explosion.
