What combination of atoms are involved in this compound? KCl
A.1 potassium atom and 2 chlorine atoms
B.2 potassium atoms and 1 chlorine atom
C.1 potassium atom and 1 chlorine atom
D.2 potassium atoms and 2 chlorine atoms
You posted a similar question about MgBr2 earlier. What do you not underatand. These are very fundamental problems.
Its c....K= potassium...and there is is only one mentioned...and Cl= chlorine...again only one mentioned..
So its C...look up your elements table and it will tell you what K..is etc...then you wont have to send as many questions in...!!
To determine the combination of atoms involved in the compound KCl (potassium chloride), you need to look at the chemical formula.
In the chemical formula, the element symbol on the left side represents the first element, and the element symbol on the right side represents the second element.
In this case, K represents potassium, and Cl represents chlorine.
The subscripts that follow each element symbol indicate the number of atoms of each element in the compound.
Based on the formula KCl, there is one potassium atom (K) and one chlorine atom (Cl) in the compound.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: 1 potassium atom and 1 chlorine atom.
