Question

When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion?

Answer 1

+1

Step-by-step explanation:

A potassium atom losses one electron to form a monovalent cation, which has a charge of +1.

Answer 2

Well if it loses one electron, then you would have more protons, so I would assume you would have a positive charge :)
