Assuming K stands for potassium, an element with 19 electrons, the electron configuration is as follows:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s13p64s1

The electron configuration shows the orbitals is order of energy level. The 4s orbital being at the highest energy level and the 1s orbital being at the lowest energy level. As 2px, 2py and 2pz exist, there are three 2p orbitals that occur at the p level, allowing the element to carry 6 electrons, 2 in each orbital.

There is a specific order in listing the orbitals

What is the relationship between the size of an s orbital and the principal energy level in which it is found?

The size of an s orbital increases with increasing principal energy level. This means that an s orbital in a higher principal energy level will be larger (have a larger average distance from the nucleus) compared to an s orbital in a lower principal energy level.

What is the first energy level in helium called?

The first energy level in the quantum (current) theory of the atom is the 1s electron orbital, which can hold two electrons.The following energy levels go like this:1s22s22p63s23p64s24p63d105s25p64d106s2...And so on. (The first number being the energy level, the letter being the shape of the electron orbital, and the superscript being the number of electrons the orbital can hold.)

The major difference between a 1s orbital and a 2s orbital is that?

the 1s orbital is closer to the nucleus and has a lower energy level compared to the 2s orbital. Additionally, the 2s orbital has a slightly higher energy, larger size, and can hold more electrons than the 1s orbital.
