Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Symbol: K

Protons = 19

Electrons in an atom: 19

Neutrons: 39 - 19 = 20

Draw the nucleus at the center. Label it with 19 Protons and 20 Neutrons.

Draw a circle around the nucleus.

Put two dots opposite each other on the circle's circumference.

Draw another circle with its center at the nucleus bigger than you first circle.

Space 8 electrons around the circumference.

Draw a third circle like the other 2 only bigger.

Space 8 electrons around this circle's circumference.

Draw 1 more circle bigger than the third circle.

It has 1 electron.
