Hey dear ‼‼
So here is your answer :-
▶It's true that outermost shell can accommodate only 18 electrons
But the fact that contradicts is that ↪The outermost shell of any atom can accommodate only 8 electrons.
So that's why the confriguration of potassium is
2,8,8,1.
instead of 2,8,9.✔
✴Hope I cleared your above doubt✴
