QUESTION

What is the electron configuration, orbital diagram, and noble gas notation of potassium?

Potassium's is 19. This means that every atom of potassium has 19 protons in its nucleus. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So the of potassium will involve 19 electrons.

The full electron configuration of potassium is ##"1s"^2"2s"^2"2p"^6"3s"^2"3p"^6"4s"^1"##.

The noble gas notation is ##"[Ar]4s"^1"##.

The following orbital diagram shows the increase in energy from one energy sublevel to the next, but you can write them on the same level horizontally,
