What is e major atom in potassium?
The major atom in potassium is the potassium ion, which has a positive charge of +1 and a single electron in its outermost shell. This ion is stable and commonly found in compounds like potassium chloride (KCl) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
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+.
Can a particle consist of only a single atom?
Yes, a particle can consist of only a single atom.
Is potassium metal a pure substance or a mixture?
Potassium metal is a pure substance. In fact, it is an element as well. The reason potassium metal is an element is that it only contains one type of atom (all atoms of potassium have the same number of protons).
What substance is made of only one atom?
An element is a pure substance that is made up of only one kind of atom.Elements that can exist as a single atom are the noble gases in Group 18 of the periodic table.

When a potassium atom reacts with a bromine atom the potassium atom will?
lose only one electron

lose one electron to form a potassium ion with a +1 charge.
Can a particle consist of only a single atom?
Yes, a particle can consist of only a single atom.
Anything made up of only one atom is called a?
A substance in which all the atoms are the same is called an "element".
How many valence electrons does an atom of potassium have?
4
How many types of atoms are in potassium?
There is one potassium, one chlorine and three oxygens in KClO3

Is water made from only one kind of atom?
no. a single water molecule is a combination of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
Does potassium chloride contain oxygen?
NO!!!! Potassium chloride has the formula 'KCl' . This is one atom/ion of potassium and one atom/ion of chlorine. There is NO oxygen present, so you cannot produce oxygen. However, potassium chlorate has the formula 'KClO3' . This is one atom of potassium , one atom of chlorine and three atoms of oxygen. So potassium chlorate will decompose to produce oxygen. NB Note the spellings and the formulae of both substances.
