Question: _______ is the molecular formula of potassium nitrate.
Options:
KNO3
3KNO
KNO2
KNO
-KNO3 is the molecular formula of potassium nitrate.
-It is an ionic salt of potassium ions (K+) and nitrate ions (NO3-). Hence it is an alkali metal nitrate.
-It is an ionic salt of potassium ions (K+) and nitrate ions (NO3-). Hence it is an alkali metal nitrate.
