Does potassium have nobel gas electron configuration?
No - but the potassium ion does
When potassium and fluorine bind which will form into a positive or negative ion?
Potassium loses 1 electron to form the K+ ion. Fluorine gains one electron to form the F- ion
What is electron configuration for potassium ion?
19K+=1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,3d1
When potassium and fluorine bind what one will be the positive ion and which one will be the negative ion?
Potassium will be the the positive ion, and fluorine will be the negative ion because the potassium atom will give one electron to fluorine for they can both be stable. Fluorine will receive one electron from potassium and it will be stable because it has now 8 valence electrons. Giving is positive and receiving is negative. Hope this helps.
What type of ion does potassium form?
Potassium has to lose 1 electron in order to form an ion. Once it does, it is known as a cation (ion with a positive charge,) and its symbol is K+

How many valence electron are in a potassium ion?
Potassium has 19 electrons when it's neutral. It's ionic form is K+. Thus, the potassium ion has one less electron than that, or 18.
What is electron configuration for potassium ion?
19K+=1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,3d1
When a potassium atom forms an ion it loses one electron what is the electrical charge of the potassium ion?
K+
When potassium and fluorine bind what one will be the positive ion and which one will be the negative ion?

Fluorine will receive one electron from potassium and it will be stable because it has now 8 valence electrons. Giving is positive and receiving is negative. Hope this helps.
What particle has the same electron configuration as a potassium ion?
argon atom
What type of ion does potassium form?
Potassium has to lose 1 electron in order to form an ion. Once it does, it is known as a cation (ion with a positive charge,) and its symbol is K+
Potassium and iodine have formed a bond Prior to this the potassium gave up an electron It became a?
positive ion
What is the symbol and name for the cation formed when a potassium atom loses one electron?
The symbol for the cation formed when a potassium atom loses one electron is K+, and is named the potassium ion.
How does potassium become an ion?
When a potassium atom becomes an ion, the potassium atom donates one of its electrons, specifically the only electron in its valence shell, to another more electronegative atoms. The original potassium atom then becomes a potassium cation with formula K+.
What is the formula of the ion formed when potassium noble gas electron configuration?
2.8.8
