Which of properties does lithium have a larger value than potassium?
The potassium is larger radius because it has more electron shells.
Lithium and potassium which is more reactive?
They both have 1 electron in their outer shell but because potassium has more shells, this electron is further from the nucleus. This means the outermost electron is less stronly pulled by the nucleus so it will break away easier therefore making potassium more reactive.
How many electron shells does chromium have?
Chromium has two electrons in the outer most shell.
How many electron shells does polonium have?
2
How many unpaired electrons does K have?
There is merely one unpaired electron in Potassium. The electron configuration of potassium is [Ar]4s^1. This means that potassium has all the electrons of argon, plus one more in the 4s orbital. All the electrons of argon are paired, so the one electron in the 4s orbital is the only unpaired electron.
The electron potassium how many shells?
It has 4
How many electron shells does plutonium have?
Plutonium has seven electron shells.
How many electron potassium gains or loses?
Potassium loses one electron.
Which of properties does lithium have a larger value than potassium?
The potassium is larger radius because it has more electron shells.
What are the rings around the potassium diagram?
It depends which diagram, most likely they are electron shells as all elements have
How many shells does magnesium atom have?
Magnesium has 3 electron shells. The electron configuration is : 2,8,1
How many shells can an electron cloud have?
The correct number of electron clouds or shells sodium has is 3.
How many electron shells does phosphours have?
Phosphorus in is 3rd period. So it has 3 electron shells.
How many electrons shells does magnesiun have?
Magnesium has three electron shells. The electron configuration is 2,8,2
What Elements in the same row are filling up the same energy level as you move from left to right?
They have the same number of shells (or energy levels).
How many electrons does a potassium atom give up when it becomes an ion?
Potassium is a Group I element (group 1) and therefore LOSES 1 electron to achieve full outer shells and become an ion.
How many shells does hassium have?
Hassium has seven electron shells.
