The formula for Potassium oxide is K2O

This is because potassium has a 1+ charge and the oxygen has a 2- charge. Two potassium atoms are required to balance the charge.

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^

As we know that metal oxides are basic in nature. It turns red litmus paper into blue which proves that it is a basic in nature that is base.
