The equation below is for potassium oxide. 4k + o2 → 2k2o the ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is

The ratio is 2:1

Explanation:

The reaction above is a combustion reaction where potassium metal reacts with oxygen to form potassium oxide.

From the equation 4 moles of potassium reacts with one mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of potassium oxide. This is achieved by balancing the equation so as to obey the law of conservation of mass which requires the number of atoms of an element to be the same in either side of a chemical reaction.

Therefore, the ratio of atoms of potassium to the atoms of oxygen will be 4:2, which when simplified gives 2:1

Hope this helps!

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
