The potassium atom has 19 electrons. The electron configuration of potassium is 2-8-8-1, meaning it has 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in the second shell, 8 electrons in the third shell, and 1 electron in the fourth shell.
Here is a simple representation of the potassium atom with its electron distribution:
K (19) 1st shell: 2 electrons 2nd shell: 8 electrons 3rd shell: 8 electrons 4th shell: 1 electron
Please note that this is a simplified representation and the actual distribution of electrons in an atom is more complex.
