Answer:
About one valence electron
Explanation:
Obviously, removing that electron gives us [Ar] (same configuration as K1+), which is a noble gas and has 8 electrons. Valence electrons are generally regarded as being 'the outermost electrons' for a given atom. Therefore, with neutral potassium, there is one valence electron
The mass numbers for two isotopes are unequal because they have different numbers of NEUTRONS.
Answer:
A)Chlorine and Bromine:
They are both non metal hence they form a covalent bond due to covalent bonding.
B)Potassium and Helium:
Helium ion has a small cationic radius and distorted by the potassium ion due to polarization.
C)Sodium and Lithium:
Both are metals hence they form a metallic bond since they share electrons to the electron cloud.
