Best Answer

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

How many protons and electrons and neutrons does the element chloride have?

Protons=17 Neutrons depend on isotope but most common is 18, and electrons depend on compound however by it self cl has 17 but it steals an electron from other elements to get 18


What element has 18 protons?

The element that has 18 neutrons is ARGON... Wow, why didn't look in a periodic table? Is easier ask here??? Actually, 18 is argon's atomic number, and it also has 18 protons and electrons.. but it has 22 neutrons. The number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons. Soo, the answer is Chlorine, 17 protons, 17 electrons and 18 neutrons


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

The atomic number of am element is determined by its number of either electrons or protons, hence here, it is 18. Therefore the element must be argon which the isotope has mass number 38, as there are 18 protons and 20 neutrons.
