The number of neutrons is entirely dependent on the Mass number of the particular atom. The standard mass for potassium is 39.
Potassium is element number 19, so it has 19 protons and 19 electrons in the neutral atom. It has therefore 39-19 = 20 Neutrons.

How many neutrons does an mg2 ion have?
It has 12 neutrons.
How many neutrons are found in argon?
There are 18, 20 or 22 neutrons.
How many neutrons are in one atom?
The number of neutrons depends on the atom. In general, mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons.
How many neutrons are in oxygen-19?
Potassium has several known isotopes, some of which are stable or at least very long lived. 19K is not one of hem. 32K (13 neutrons) to 55K (36 neutrons) have been identified. The stable ones are 39K and 41K. Should an isotope 19K be created, it would have no neutrons. It would decay by electron capture (most likely) to something like fluorine. With a great number of gamma photons emitted as well.
How many protons and neutrons does the nucleus of argon?
18 protons and 18, 20 or 22 neutrons.
How many protrons electrons and neutrons are in Potassium?
Potassium has 19 protons, 19 electrons and 20 neutrons.
How many neutrons does potassium-41 contain?
Potassium-41 contains 22 neutrons and 19 protons.
How many neutrons occur in potassium with a mass number of 39?
Potassium is element number 19 and so 39-19 = 20 neutrons
How many protons neutrons electrons are in potassium?
There are 19 protons,20 neutrons, and 19 electrons.
How many neutrons in potassium 41?
the answer is 21. because you do 40-19
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of the potassium?
20 for the stable atom
How many protons electrons and neutrons are in potassium-39?
19 protons 19 electrons 20 neutrons
How many protons electrons and neutrons does an atom of potassium have?
19 protons, 19 electrons, and 20 neutrons
How many protons and neutrons are in potassium?
Potassium has the atomic number 19; that means it has 19 protons. The number of neutrons - as with any element - depends on the specific isotope. For more details, check the Wikipedia article on "Isotopes of potassium".
How many protons neutrons and electrons in potassium -43?
There are 19 protons and electrons each. And there are 24 neutrons present.
How many protons neutrons and electrons have K-41?
Potassium-41 has 19 electrons and protons and 22 neutrons.
How many electrons and neutrons does potassium has?
Potassium's atomic number is 19. That means that it must have 19 protons and 19 electrons to be electrically neutral. 39K is potassium's most common isotope, with 39 - 19 = 20 neutrons.
