How are potassium atoms formed from potassium ions?
See explanation below.
If you recall, an ion is an atom or group of atoms that has a net negative or net positive charge. This means that when you add up all of the individual charges for all of the components of an ion, it should not be equal to zero (by definition).
I hope that helps!
P.S. If any part of my explanation was too confusing and needs further simpler explanation, please leave a comment on my answer. Thanks!

Reduction is the process by which potassium ions are converted into potassium atoms by gaining one electron, which turns a potassium ion (K+) into a neutral potassium atom (K).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
