There is 1 electron in the outer shell of a potassium atom. The electron configuration is [Ar] 4s1. The orbitals with quantum numbers 1, 2 and 3 are all full so they are considered core orbitals.
Potassium has one electron on its outer shell. It belongs to group 1 of the periodic table, so it has one electron in its outermost shell.
No, neon has 10 electrons while potassium has 19 electrons. Neon has a full outer electron shell with 8 electrons, making it stable. Potassium has a partially filled outer electron shell, which makes it chemically reactive.
In the formation of potassium nitride, the nitrogen atom transfers 3 valence electrons to the potassium atom. This results in the nitrogen atom achieving a full outer shell, becoming a nitride ion with a charge of -3, and the potassium atom becoming a potassium ion with a charge of +1.
Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outer shell, and Bromine has 7 electrons in its outer shell.
NONE!!! No electrons are transferred from nitrogen. The electrons are transferred (ionised) from potassium to fill the outer electron shell of nitrogen, in order to complete nitrogen's outer energy shell octet. So potassium nitride is an ionic compound . 3K^(+) + N^(3-) = K3N

1 in the 4s orbital, 19 electrons in all (K has an atomic number of 19)
Potassium has one electron on its outer shell. It belongs to group 1 of the periodic table, so it has one electron in its outermost shell.
Potassium has 1 electron in its outer energy level. When it forms a bond, it typically donates this electron to another element, leaving it with a full outer energy level.
No, neon has 10 electrons while potassium has 19 electrons. Neon has a full outer electron shell with 8 electrons, making it stable. Potassium has a partially filled outer electron shell, which makes it chemically reactive.
Potassium (K) typically has 1 valence electron. It readily loses the lone outer electron leaving a strong shell of 8.
The neutral atom of potassium has 19 electrons.
Potassium is in group 1 of the periodic table, so the answer is 1 electron.
Lithium and potassium are both alkali metals. Thus their outermost orbitals are filled up to s1. So, that shows us that they both have only one outer level electron each.
A potassium atom has 1 electron in its outer shell. In order to satisfy the octet rule, it needs to donate 7 electrons to another atom to reach a stable configuration with a full outer shell.
In the formation of potassium nitride, the nitrogen atom transfers 3 valence electrons to the potassium atom. This results in the nitrogen atom achieving a full outer shell, becoming a nitride ion with a charge of -3, and the potassium atom becoming a potassium ion with a charge of +1.
the valency of potassium is 1
