How does a atom of potassium-41 become a potassium ion with a 1 charge?

It loses (Ionises) 1 electron. The '41' is the atomici mass of this particular isotope of potassium. The atomic mass is the sum total of all the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. It has no bearing on potassiums ability to lose an electron .
