* Identify the elements: Potassium hydroxide is composed of potassium (K), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H).
* Count the atoms of each element:
* There is 1 potassium atom (K)
* There is 1 oxygen atom (O)
* There is 1 hydrogen atom (H)
* Total atoms: 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 atoms
Therefore, there are 3 atoms in a molecule of potassium hydroxide (KOH).
