1 answer

The chemical formula K2SO4 consists of the following elements:

  • K (potassium)
  • S (sulfur)
  • O (oxygen)

From the formula, we can count the number of atoms for each element:

  • There are 2 potassium (K) atoms.
  • There is 1 sulfur (S) atom.
  • There are 4 oxygen (O) atoms.

So, the correct response is:

2 potassium atoms, 1 sulfur atom, and 4 oxygen atoms.
