Potassium is an alkali metal with the chemical symbol K. It has an atomic number of 19, meaning that it has 19 positively charged protons. It also contains 19 electrons, which have a negative charge, and 20 neutrons, which do not hold a charge
Hope this help
By sharing electeons with each other
if they lose or gain electrons then they only form ions
they cannot lose neutrons as they are locked inside the nucleus
Answer:
Explanation:
As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.
As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.
On left side of periodic table atoms of metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons or we can say metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons so their reactivity increase down the group because of easily removal of electrons.
On right side of periodic table atoms of nonmetals are more reactive by gaining the electrons. As we move down the group nuclear attraction becomes smaller because of shielding thus electron are less attracted by nucleus and reactivity decreases.
The answer to problem is [He] 2s1. Hope it helps
Answer:
The answer is (H30+) =3,55e-8M and (OH-)=2,82e-7M
Explanation:
We use the formulas:
pH= - log(H30+) and Kwater=(H30+)x(OH-)
pH= - log(H30+) ----< (H30+)= antilog- pH=antilog- 7,45=3,55E-8M
Kwater=(H30+)x(OH-)
(OH-)=Kwater/(H30+)= 1,00e-14/3,55e-8 = 2,82e-7
