Answer to Problem 8STP

The correct option is (C).

Explanation of Solution

The given elements are potassium and oxygen. Potassium and oxygen belong to Group 1A and Group 6A. Potassium and oxygen have 1 valence electron and 6 valence electrons respectively.

Potassium loses its 1 electron to form K+ and oxygen gains 2 electrons to form O2 . Thus, the chemical formula formed by the given pair of elements is K2O .

Therefore, the correct option is (C).
