Compare and contrast a potassium atom and a potassium ion. Explain how to change a potassium ion into a potassium atom and vice versa. In your explanation, show the symbols that would be used to represent the atom and the ion.

Explanation: A potassium atom, K is in its normal elemental state with 1 valence electron in it's most outer shell. ... However the potassium ion has lost it's valence electron and has therefore formed a positive action, K+ . It instead has 19 protons and 18 electrons, yielding a net positive charge.

Explanation:

hope this helps and have a wonderful rest of your day :) !

the energy generated by an individual's metabolism is calculated in met (metabolic equivalent of task). the met is the ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate. one met is illustrated as 1 kcal per kilogram per hour, and is probably equal to the energy cost of sitting quietly.

1 met is equal to 1.162 watt per kg

1 kg is equal to 1000 grams

as the person weighs 80000 gm, that is, 80 kg.

therefore, 80*1.162 = 92.96

thus, the person expends 92.96 watts of power while at rest.
