How many unpaired electrons does K have?

Answer 1

There is merely one unpaired electron in Potassium. The electron configuration of potassium is [Ar]4s^1. This means that potassium has all the electrons of argon, plus one more in the 4s orbital. All the electrons of argon are paired, so the one electron in the 4s orbital is the only unpaired electron.

Answer 2

One. The electronic configuration of potassium is [Ar] 4s1. All of the orbitals in levels 1,2 and 3 shells are full - each has 2 electrons of opposite spin. The unpaired electron is in the 4S orbital.

Answer 3

Potassium (K) has one unpaired electron.
