potassium has 4 shells first shell has 2 second 8 third 8 fourth 1
Potassium's atomic number is 19. That means that, to keep it neutral, it has 19 protons and 19 electrons. The first 19 electrons are placed into orbitals as 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1. Thus, potassium has 4 shells.
The element with 4 electron shells is potassium (K).
All these have one electron in their valence shell.
Magnesium has three electron shells. The electron configuration is 2,8,2
Bromine has 4 electron shells.
Polonium has 6 electron shells.
Sodium, i believe has 3 shells.
A sulfur atom has 3 electron shells.
Potassium loses one electron.
Uranium has 92 electrons, which means it has 7 electron shells.
No. All the alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons, meaning they have two electrons in the outermost shells. No two alkaline earth metals have the same number of electron shells. Beryllium is the only one with two shells.
