Answer:

+1

Step-by-step explanation:

A Potassium atom is represented with the sign "K" in chemistry and have atomic number 19.

The charge of electrons causes a matter to experience a force and it can be positive or negative.

In Potassium atom, the electric charge is +1 to enter a stable electron configuration as there is only one valence electron in the outermost shell of potassium atom. As potassium atom will lose electron it will become positively charged.

Hence, the correct answer is "+1".
