Answer: 2

Explanation: Potassium, K, has only 1 valence electron, 4s^1.  Oxygen, O, needs 2 more electrons to complete its valence shell to make 8 electrons.  That means 2 K atoms will combine with 1 O atom, to produce K2O, potassium oxide.  Both K electrons are stolen by the single O atom, so 2 electrons are transferred.

In which of the following sets are the charges given correctly for all the
Ronch [10]

Answer:

B) K⁺, Sr²⁺ , O²⁻

Explanation:

Potassium is present in group one. It is alkali metal and have one valance electron.Potassium need to lose its one valance electron and form cation to get complete octet.

That's why it shows K⁺.

Sr is alkaline earth metal. It is present in group two. It has two valance electrons. Strontium needed to lose its two valance electrons and get stable electronic configuration.

When it loses its two valance electrons it shows cation with charge of +2.

Sr²⁺

Oxygen is present in group 16. It has sex valance electrons. It needed two more electrons to complete the octet. That's why oxygen gain two electron and form anion with a charge of -2.

O²⁻
