Answer:

B. K+ has 18 electrons

Explanation:

  • Ions are formed when atoms of element gain or loose electrons.
  • <em><u>When an atom looses electrons it forms a positively charged ion and when an atom gains electrons it forms a negatively charged ion.</u></em>
  • Metal atoms such as potassium, magnesium and aluminium looses outer most electrons to positively charged ions.
  • <u>Potassium atom has 19 electrons, 19 protons, with an electronic configuration of 2 : 8 : 8 : 1.</u> <u><em>To form an ion, K looses an electron to form a positively charged potassium ion (K+) with 18 electrons and 19 protons and an electronic configuration of 2:8:8.</em></u>

Explain why it is important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay aka radioactivity will remain constant over time?
marusya05 [52]

Answer and Explanation:

It's very important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay will remain constant over time to make scientists' lives easier when calculating the ages of fossils, compounds, etc.

If the rate changes, it would be extremely challenging for people to figure out the relative ages of rock strata, fossils, or other substances with radioactive elements in them. This is a fundamental assumption in order to be able to use radioactive dating.

Hope this helps!
