Fluorine (F) would be least likely to form a cation out of potassium, fluorine, chlorine, and nitrogen.
- A cation is a positively charged atom (or molecule) that has lost electrons (or electrons).
- The tendency for electropositive elements to lose electrons and produce cations is greater. On the left side of the periodic table, these are often metals.
- Going down a group increases electropositivity, or the propensity to lose electrons and generate cations. and decreases across a period. In the given examples:
- Potassium, K is an alkali metal and will lose electrons readily to form a cation.
- Nitrogen (N), Fluorine (F), and chlorine (Cl) are all nonmetals that prefer to accept electrons and form anions instead. F is the most electronegative i.e. it will gain electrons and form F- rather than F+.

Answer:
Decomposition Reaction
Explanation:
If you are referring to what type of reaction that occurred then the answer would be decomposition reaction.
This is a chemical reaction where one reactant is broken down into two or more products.
REACTANT → PRODUCT
AB → A + B
The products can be two or more elements or two or more compounds, depending on what was decomposed.
Your solution steps look correct, but the answer was not completed. Given that QR = 33.8 and PQ = 57.6, and Q is the right angle, then tan P = opposite / adjacent = QR / PQ = 33.8 / 57.6 = 0.586.
Then tan P = 0.586
Angle P = tan^-1 (0.586) = 30.4 degrees.
the only explanation would be that it is on top of a hotspot I don't know if this helps at all
The answer is 9. Calcium nitrate is made up
of 3 different elements that equal 9 atoms.
