Argon (Ar) is the nearest noble gas to potassium.
The nearest noble gas to potassium is argon.

Metals like sodium,potassium get noble gas configuration by losing electrons. Elements like nitrogen,oxygen get noble gas configuration by gaining electrons. Halogens get noble gas configuration by sharing electrons.
The compound formed is KCl. K is in group 1 on the Periodic Table, it wants to lose 1 electron to be like the nearest noble gas (i.e. fulfill the octet rule - look at the Periodic Table to see what the closest noble gas is to the element in question, i.e. He, Ne, Ar, etc. In this case, K wants to lose 1 electron to be like Ar). Cl is in group 7 on the Periodic Table, it wants to gain 1 electron to be like the nearest noble gas (i.e. fulfill the octet rule). So, K is -1 Cl is +1 Put them together and they are perfectly happy (i.e. have fulfilled the octet rule). Another example, B reacting with Cl; B = group 3 = wants to lose 3 electrons to be like the nearest noble gas. Cl = group 7 = wants to gain 1 electron to be like the nearest noble gas. B is -3 Cl is +1 Therefore, BCl3 is the answer.
NO!!!! They are two different elements found in the Periodic Table. Argon is a Noble(Inert) gas Potassium is a highly reactive metal, when placed in oxygen or water.
The noble gas nearest to Phosphorus (P) is Argon (Ar).
Potassium loses one electron to form K+ ion that has the noble gas configuration of the element neon.
This gas is neon.
yes it does. potassium and argon are isoelectronic
Yes it is. Argon (atomic number 18) is the noble gas that is nearest to calcium (atomic number 20)
Potassium has one valence electron that it would lose to become octet happy, or like a noble gas..therefore K(+1 charge)

The Noble gas notation for Krypton can be written as [Kr] because it is a Noble gas or [Ar]4s2 3d10 4p6.
No noble gas is isoelectronic with the element chlorine. But argon is isoelectronic with the chloride ion.
The charge of a sulfide ion that is isoelectric with its nearest noble gas (argon) is -2. This means that the sulfide ion has gained two electrons in order to have the same electron configuration as the noble gas.
