1 answer

The chemical formula K2SO4 represents:

  • K: Potassium
  • S: Sulfur
  • O: Oxygen

In the formula K2SO4:

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

Therefore, the correct response is: 2 potassium atoms, 1 sulfur atom, and 4 oxygen atoms.
