Dear student,

 

We can find the valence electron of an element using its atomic number , as potassium’s atomic number is 19
Thus , you can write its electronic configuration as follows : 2 , 8 , 8 , 1
Potassium (K) typically has 19 total electrons, 1 of which is in the outermost shell, and therefore 1 valence electron.
Answer is 1
Thank you
