How many number of electron does potassium have?

Answer 1

Potassium, a chemical element with the symbol K and atomic number 19, has 19 electrons. In a neutral potassium atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, which is 19. Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom in specific energy levels or shells.

Answer 2

Potassium is element number 19, so it has 19 protons and 19 electrons in the neutral atom.

A potassium atom has 19 protons.

An uncharged atom therefore has 19 electrons, but in solution many potassium atoms exist as ions (K+), with 18 electrons.

Answer 3

The number of electrons equal to its atomic number.

Answer 4

Number of electrons in Potassium is equal to its Atomic Number.

Therefore, it has 19 electrons which is equivalent to its Atomic Number

Answer 5

A neutral potassium atom has the same number of electrons as protons, 19. However, a potassium ion will have one electron less.

Answer 6

Potassium (atomic number 19) has 19 protons, so an uncharged atom will have 19 electrons.
