Neutrons in potassium

Answer 1

I'm not sure... but as soon as I figure out the answer I will post the answer... sorry. This answer is better than the one the person before me posted... They said poop and I thought that that was not a true answer for sure and it's nothing to play about and to put a fake answer on here :)

Answer 2

There are 20 neutrons in an average atom of potassium.This is found by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the Atomic Mass (measured in AMU, which is the approximate weight of a proton or neutron). Rounded to the nearest whole number, this will give you an estimate of how many neutrons are in an average atom of potassium. However, sometimes an atom has more or less neutrons than this number. That is why this number is an approximation instead of an exact value.

Answer 3

To work out the number of neutrons in an atom, we have to look at it's symbol o the Periodic Table. All elements on the periodic table have two numbers. The top one is the atomic mass. This is the number of protons + neutrons. The lower is atomic number, which is the number of protons alone. Therefore, to get the number of neutrons we have to take away the atomic mass from the atomic number. In Potassium (K) this is 39 - 19 = 20. Therefore, there are 20 neutrons in an atom of potassium.

Answer 4

Potassium has 20 neutrons in its most common isotope, potassium-39. Neutrons are subatomic particles with no charge, found within an atom's nucleus. They help stabilize the nucleus and contribute to the atom's overall mass.

Answer 5

potassium has 19 protons 19 electrons and 20 neutrons

Answer 6

Depends on the isotope. Since potassium has 19 protons, K-39 would have 20 neutrons, K-40 21, and K-41 22.

Answer 7

87 neutrons

Answer 8

20

Answer 9

20 neutrons
