Which is in the same period as the element Potassium?

Two elements, anything in the same column as it, so how about, lithium, and sodium? I'm pretty sure. Lithium and sodium have similar chemical properties to potassium as they are in the same group of the periodic table. They are in group one of the periodic table and are known as the 'alkali metals'. Nearly all elements that are in the same group have similar chemical properties. Common characteristics of alkali metals include: Soft/low density metals React readily with oxygen and water They will react with water to form an alkaline solution and give off hydrogen gas


Why is the period of an element determined by an electron configuration?

The period of an element is determined by electronic configuration.Period is same as the number of energy levels of the element.


How many protrons and electrons are present in a potassium atom?

A potassium atom typically has 19 protons and 19 electrons. The number of protons defines the element, so potassium always has 19 protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same.


What do elements in the 4th period have in common?

Elements in the 4th period of the periodic table all have four energy levels or shells in their atomic structure. They belong to the same block (s and p) and exhibit similar chemical properties in terms of reactivity and bonding. Elements in this period include potassium, calcium, scandium, titanium, and iron.


What does the last element in any period always have?

The last element in any period always has its outermost electron in the same type of atomic orbital, either an s or p orbital.

Is potassium and magnesium in the same period?

Potassium and magnesium are not in the same period on the periodic table. Potassium is in the fourth period (row) while magnesium is in the third period. They are both in the same group (column), Group 2, which are known as the alkaline earth metals.


What is the chemical formula potassium and bromine?

Groups go in columns (up and down) and periods go in rows (left to right). Potassium is on the same row as bromine, therefore they are in the same period.


Does each element have the same physical properties as other elements?

It depends. If the elements are in the same period or column, then there properties could be very similar. The number of protons is what determines the element. because no element has the same number of protons, no two elements have the exact same properties. For example, because Sodium (Na) and potassium (K) are in the same period, they are both metals, they both have one valence electron and both explode when they are put in water. The difference between these 2 is Potassium has a larger explosion because Potassium is more of a concentrate. The point is, two elements can be very similar, but no two elements are exactly the same.


How old is potassium?

Potassium is a mineral element that exists in nature. I guess potassium would be the same age as the earth.


What element has the largest atoms period 4?

Atomic radius decreases across a row (increasing positive charge in the nucleus causes electrons in the same energy level to "shrink" into the nucleus due to electrostatic attraction). This means that potassium has the largest atomic radius in period 4.

Sodium is an element that is similar to potassium. Both are alkali metals in group 1 of the periodic table and have similar chemical properties.
