The atomic number of Potassium (K) is 19, which means it has 19 electrons in total. These electrons are distributed across different energy levels or shells according to the rule 2, 8, 8, 1:
First shell (K-shell): 2 electrons
Second shell (L-shell): 8 electrons
Third shell (M-shell): 8 electrons
Fourth shell (N-shell): 1 electron
The valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. In the case of potassium, there is 1 electron in its outermost shell.
Thus, the number of valence electrons in a Potassium atom is 1.
Answer: Option 2.
