why potassium loses only one electron

Answers

Answered by Anonymous

Explanation:

All Group 1 atoms can lose one electron to form positively charged ions. For example, potassium atoms do this to form ions with the same electron configuration as the noble gas argon. Group 2 atoms lose two electrons to form positively charged ions.These have the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon.

A potassium atom loses one (1) electron to form a monovalent cation, which has a charge of +1 . This is the case for all elements in group 1 of the periodic table. This is because it has only one electron in its valence shell and tends to lose it so that has a filled octet, even at lower energy shell.
