The charge of potassium as metal, elementary, (pure) is zero, neutral, it is an element (K).
Though in compounds it changes to an ION ( K+ ) with charge +1, because it donated its ONE outer electron to an oxidising agent (eg. oxygen).

Does potassium permanganate have chemical charge?
Potassium permanganate, KMnO4, has charge = 0
When a potassium atom forms an ion it loses one electron what is the electrical charge of the potassium ion?
K+
Common charge for the element potassium?
Positive
What is the chemical formula for potassium chloirde?
KCl, K is potassium which has a +1 charge and Cl is Chloride which has a -1 unless by itself because it is a diatomic but in this formula it remains a -1 charge.
What is the name of VPO4?
KPO4 does not exist. PO4 has a 3- charge, and K has a 1+ charge. So, you need to have K3PO4 to have potassium phosphate.
What is the net charge of potassium?
Usually if potassium has a charge, it is +1.
Does potassium permanganate have chemical charge?
Potassium permanganate, KMnO4, has charge = 0
What charge does potassium have?
1+
What is the charge of potassium ferricyanide?
Charges: Potassium = +1 Ferricyanide = -3
What is the charge of dichromate?
Potassium Dichromate K2Cr2O7 is neutral.
When a potassium atom forms an ion it loses one electron what is the electrical charge of the potassium ion?
K+
What periodic family does potassium bond with?
potassium is an alkali metal with a charge of +1. It will bond with anything with a negative charge. With the elements, they want to form perfect bonds. That is, a neutral charge of 0. So the greater the negative charge, the more potassium atoms that can be bonded to it.
Does potassium have a positeve charged ion?
Potassium has a charge of +1. It is positively charged.
The chemical formula for an ionic compound of potassium and oxygen is what?
the chemical formula for potassium and Oxygen is: K2O Because Potassium has a charge of 1+. And Oxygen has a charge of 2- Hope this helps!
What is the compound formula for potassium acetate?
KC2H3O2 potassium has a +1 charge Acetate ion has a -1 charge
Ionic charge for potassium?
Potassium is a Group (I) metal. All Group(I) metals ionise to M^+ So potassium becomes K^+. Its ionic charge is '+1'.
What charge do Potassium ions carry?
+ 1
