ONLY the K+ ion (not element) has 19 protons and 18 electrons.

The isotopic ion with 21 neutrons must be K+-40 , the most rare potassium-ion (0.01%) out of three possibles, the other isotopes are: K+-39 (93%) and 7% is K+-41

Explanation:

39, 40 and 41 are the mass numbers of the 3 naturally occurring potassium isotopes.

Keep in mind that:

1. an element is always neutrally charged, so the number of protons (positives, + ) equals the number of electrons (negatives, - )

2. the number of neutrons depends on the 'mass number' of the one particular isotope of that element and that the number of protons + neutrons is the mass number

What element has 18 protons 20 nuetrons and 18 electrons What is its atomic number?

The element with 18 protons is argon (Ar), with atomic number 18. Its mass number is calculated by adding the protons and neutrons, so 18 protons + 20 neutrons = mass number 38 for this particular isotope of argon.


What element 20 protrons 20 neutrons and 18 electrons?

The element with 20 protons, 20 neutrons, and 18 electrons is calcium. Calcium has an atomic number of 20, which tells us the number of protons in the nucleus. The number of protons and electrons should be equal for a neutral atom, therefore in this case the element is calcium.


How many electrons does an element have if it has 17 protons and 18 neutrons?

If an element has 17 protons, it will also have 17 electrons since atoms are electrically neutral. Adding the number of neutrons (18) to the number of protons (17) gives us the mass number of the element, which in this case would be 35.
