k varies

No, the electrostatic CONSTANT does not vary. That's why they
call it a constant.

but never G:

1. k ***VARIES**** depending on the density(or structure) of the other
charges in the medium (since medium's are made of electrons and
protons) excluding Q&q.

No, it doesn't.

But k will certainly have different values in different media, since it
depends on the total permittivity of the medium.
