Fluorine is the element with atomic weight closest to 19 amu. Fluorine has an atomic number of 9, so an electrically neutral fluorine atom would have 9 electrons.
The number of electrons is always the same as the atomic number. That gives you the number of protons and electrons. The atomic mass has nothing to do with it. What is the atomic number? That is your answer.
Use the Periodic Table to get Atomic number (19), and atomic mass (39.1). The atomic number is the number of protons, and in the neutral atom, also the number of electrons: 19. The atomic mass is the sum of the mass of the protons and neutrons, 39.1. Subtract the number of protons (use integers) from the atomic mass, 39 - 19 = 20, which is the number of neutrons. Protons = 19 Neutrons = 20 Electrons = 19
Fluorine has 9 electrons to match its atomic number.
To find the atomic mass, subtract the atomic number (protons) from the mass number (protons + neutrons). Atomic mass = Mass number - Atomic number Atomic mass = 19 - 9 Atomic mass = 10amu So, an atom with an atomic number of 9 and a mass number of 19 would have an atomic mass of 10 atomic mass units (amu).
An atom of Fluorine has the atomic number 9 and the mass number 19 (rounded up). This means it has 9 electrons, 9 protons and (19-9) 10 neutrons. The proton and electron count are taken from the atomic number. The mass number - the atomic number gives the number of neutrons.
As electrons have such a small mass, they are not counted in the atomic mass. Thus the mass of an atom with 19 protons and 20 neutrons is 39.
Since the atom is electrically neutral, the number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons in the atom, which is the definition of atomic number. Therefore, there are 9 electrons.
The atomic mass of the isotope potassium-39 is 38,963 706 68(20).
Fluorine-19 (not "flourine-19) has an atomic number of 9 and therefore has 9 each of protons and electrons. The number of neutrons is found by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number: 19 - 9 = 10 neutrons.
The atomic number is the number of protons: 19.number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 21.The number of electrons is normally the same as the number of protons: 19
Potassium-43 has 19 protons, 24 neutrons, and 19 electrons. The number of protons and electrons is determined by the element's atomic number (which is 19 for potassium), while the number of neutrons is calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the isotope mass number.
K always has 19 protons, because that is what defines it as an element.40, the atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons. So if you subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass, you get the number of neutrons.40-19=21 neutrons
