The symbol for the cation formed when a potassium atom loses one electron is K+, and is named the potassium ion.
The chemical formula (not symbol) of potassium bicarbonate is KHCO3.
Potassium has to lose 1 electron in order to form an ion. Once it does, it is known as a cation (ion with a positive charge,) and its symbol is K+
symbol of cation = K+ symbol of anion = CL-
Atoms are isoelectronic when they have the same electron configuration. Therefore, an anion isoelectronic to krypton is bromide. A cation isoelectronic to krypton is rubidium.
The element with an electron configuration of 5s1 is potassium. The 5s subshell can hold up to 2 electrons, and potassium has one electron in the 5s orbital.

The element with an electron configuration of 5s1 is potassium. The 5s subshell can hold up to 2 electrons, and potassium has one electron in the 5s orbital.
Cl- This is the symbol of a chlorine ion that gains one electron
Usually Potassium has a single positive charge, but if you put it in a vacume tube and hit it with electron beams of high voltage you can make it do what ever you want it to do.
Hydrogen is identified with a 'H' symbol and if dissolved in water it have a negative charge
A cation is a positively charged particle that is attracted to a negative cathode. Cations are formed when an atom loses an electron to have a full outer shell. Metals usually lose electrons to form a cation. They have a positive charge because the atom now has more protons (positive) than electrons (negative). Example Na+, Mg2+ , Al3+ Heather (N Ireland)
The symbol used to represent the chloride ion formed when chlorine gains one electron is Cl-.
The Lewis symbol for a potassium ion (K+) is K with a positive charge and no dots, indicating the loss of one electron. The Lewis symbol for a chloride ion (Cl-) is Cl with a negative charge and eight dots around it, representing the gain of one electron to achieve a full outer shell.
