It depends which diagram, most likely they are electron shells as all elements have

Does earth have rings around?

No, Earth does not have any rings around it. Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are the planets in our solar system that have rings. Earth is not one of them.


Is potassium fluoride polar or nonpolar?

Potassium fluoride is a polar compound due to the difference in electronegativity between potassium and fluorine atoms, resulting in an uneven distribution of electrons. This creates a slight negative charge around the fluoride ion and a slight positive charge around the potassium ion, making the molecule polar.


Draw the electron dot diagram which shows Potassium forming a chemical bond with Bromine?

It looks like thisK–Br:except that there are also two dots both above and below the "Br" in the diagram (there are three lone pairs on Br, and none on K)See the Related Questions link about Lewis Dot Structures to the left of this answer for more help with electron dot diagrams!


Rock and ice particles that create a circle around a planet?

The rock and ice particles that create a circle around a planet are called rings. These rings are composed of various-sized particles that orbit around the planet. Saturn is the most well-known planet with a prominent ring system.


How do you draw potassium?

Potassium has an atomic number of 19 and a mass number close to 39. To draw an atom of potassium, its important to know the following:Atomic number = number of protons = number of electronsMass number = number of protons + number of neutronsFrom this, we can work out the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in potassium:Protons in potassium = 19Electrons in potassium = 19Neutrons in potassium = 20Now, the protons and neutrons are located in the center of an atom called the nucleus so you would need to draw 19 protons and 20 neutrons at the center of the atom. Surrounding the nucleus are electrons that are located in sub-atomic shells. The electrons exist in an order that is called the electronic configuration. For the first 20 elements, the electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8, 2. You would therefore need to draw 4 "rings" around the nucleus. These rings will act as your sub-atomic shells. In the first ring, you would draw 2 electrons, followed by 8 electrons in the second and third ring, and finally 1 electron in the fourth ring.
