Aluminum is the 3rd row of our Periodic Table, so to make its short-hand electron configuration, we start with the noble gas on the end of the previous row, neon (Ne), in this case. Being in the 3A column, Al has 3 electrons in the outer shell, so the configuration is:
[Ne] 3s2 3p1

Elements at the extreme right of the periodic table are known as noble gases. They have a full outer electron shell, making them highly stable and unreactive. This stable electron configuration gives them low reactivity and they are often used in applications where inert atmospheres are needed.
Electrons lose in case of potassium. It looses 1 electron.
Noble gases are colorless, odorless, and tasteless gases that are nonreactive due to their stable electron configuration. They are located in group 18 of the periodic table and have complete outer electron shells. These gases have low melting and boiling points, making them useful in applications where inert atmospheres are needed.
Two sodium atoms are needed to provide the 2 electrons necessary to complete the valence octet of an oxygen atom. Sodium typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, which can then be transferred to an oxygen atom to satisfy its electron needs.

When ionised to have no electrons, the usual notation would be 1s0. However, this is almost never needed, as other information and context will usually imply or define that there are no electrons.

Only three electrons.
Electrons lose in case of potassium. It looses 1 electron.
Chlorine has a higher ionization energy than sodium. This is because chlorine, being a halogen, has a stronger electron affinity and is closer to achieving a stable electron configuration by gaining an electron, leading to a higher energy needed to remove an electron from its outer shell.
The ionization energy is the energy needed to extract an electron from an atom.The value of the ionization energy increase from left to right in a period of the periodic table and decrease in a group from the above to down.

Boron must give up 3 electrons in order to achieve a noble-gas electron configuration.
