Answer:
Heya!!
Here is your answer!!
- Potassium and Sodium both the elements or rather metals donate their valence electron and gains +1 charge on it to become more stable.
- So,the outer electron of both the elements is loosely attracted to the positive nucleus .
- Potassium being heavy metal than Sodium wants to donate its electron and thus is loosely attracted to the positive nucleus.
- So,outer electron in Potassium is less strongly attracted to the positive nucleus than the outer electron in sodium is.
Hope it helps u!!
