I would assume potassium-42 decays into calcium-42 via beta decay. Potassium-42 --> Calcium-42 + electron
One valence electron
Potassium is the group 1, period 4 element on the periodic table. That means that its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1. This can be shortened to [Ar] 4s1 because argon's electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6.
An electron - also referred to as a beta particle.
It is K with one dot so: K . The reasoning behind this is that you put the highest energy level on the dot notation. Electron Configuration notation for Potassium is: 1s2; 2s2, 2p6; 3s2, 3p6, 4s1. It is also in the third row, so that is why it moves up to the fourth energy level.
Potassium loses one electron.
Potassium is electron donor
There is only one valance electron in potassium.
Potassium lose an electron (iodine gain this electron) to form potassium iodide, KI.
one electron
No - but the potassium ion does
The shell configuration of potassium is 2,8,8,1.
Potassium has 1 valence electron.
Because potassium loss easily an electron.
Potassium has one.
1 valence electron
Potassium loses one electron. All Alkali metals lose one electron.
