Given:
The atomic symbol and the classification of the given element Potassium as metal, non-metal, and metalloid.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The atomic symbol of Potassium is 
and its atomic number is 
which means it has electrons in its atoms while its corresponding noble gas is Argon which has
