Each isotope, stable or unstable, has a specific symbol; for example K-40 for potassium 40.
40K
neutrons = 22 (for the most stable isotope of argon, Ar-40)
The atomic number of potassium is 19. So there are 19 protons and 19 electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope. The most stable isotope of potassium (K-39) has 20 neutrons (39 - 19 = 20).
the answer is 21. because you do 40-19

Potassium 40 is an isotope with 19 protons (and electrons) and 21 neutrons. Potassium 40 accounts for around 0.012% of potassium and is fairly stable (half life of 1.25 billion years).Potassium 40 is an isotope with 19 protons (and electrons) and 21 neutrons.

The atomic number of potassium is 19. So there are 19 protons and 19 electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope. The most stable isotope of potassium (K-39) has 20 neutrons (39 - 19 = 20).
Argon-40, the most common isotope is formed by the radioactive decay of potassium-40.
the answer is 21. because you do 40-19
The radioactive isotope for Argon is Argon 40. It is also differs from Potassium 40 by 1 proton. Its one proton above Potassium 40.
The number of neutrons in any element depends on the isotope of the element you are referring to. Potassium has 24 isotopes, ranging from 32K to 55K. The most stable natural isotope is 39K, which would have 20 neutrons.
An isotope of phosphorus, phosphorus-32, undergoes beta minus decay as annoted by this equation: 32P => 32S + e- + ve The products are the sulfur isotope 32S, which is stable, and the beta minus partile (e-), which is a high energy electron, and an antineutrino (ve).
The most stable isotope, calcium-40 has 20 neutrons.
Na -23 is the most abundant isotope, because the atomic massfor Na on the periodical table of elements is 22.99 and 22.99 isclosest to 23.
