Mass number = No. of protons + No. of neutrons = 19 + 20 = 39
The most common isotope is 20
An atom of potassium with an atomic number of 19 has 20 neutrons in its nucleus. This can be determined by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass (39 - 19 = 20).
The atomic mass of the isotope potassium-39 is 38,963 706 68(20).
To find the atomic mass, subtract the atomic number (protons) from the mass number (protons + neutrons). Atomic mass = Mass number - Atomic number Atomic mass = 19 - 9 Atomic mass = 10amu So, an atom with an atomic number of 9 and a mass number of 19 would have an atomic mass of 10 atomic mass units (amu).
The mass number of Potassium is 39 which means it has 20 neutrons.
The element is potassium. Atomic mass is 38.
The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. For an atom with a mass number of 19, it would have 19 total protons and neutrons combined. This atom could be potassium-40 (19 protons and 21 neutrons) or calcium-40 (20 protons and 20 neutrons), for example.
The most common isotope is 20
The number of neutrons is entirely dependent on the Mass number of the particular atom. The standard mass for potassium is 39. Potassium is element number 19, so it has 19 protons and 19 electrons in the neutral atom. It has therefore 39-19 = 20 Neutrons.
An atom of potassium has 19 protons, 19 electrons, and typically 20 neutrons.
The mass number is always the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons and therefore is 39 in this instance. The atomic number of 19 shows that the atom is of the element potassium, and its symbol is 39K.
An atom of potassium with an atomic number of 19 has 20 neutrons in its nucleus. This can be determined by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass (39 - 19 = 20).
A potassium-37 (K-37) atom typically has 20 neutrons in its nucleus. This is because the number of neutrons is calculated by subtracting the atomic number (which is 19 for potassium) from the mass number (which is 37 for K-37).
The atomic mass of the isotope potassium-39 is 38,963 706 68(20).
The mass number of an atom is the sum of the protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Therefore, for an atom of calcium with 20 protons and 20 neutrons, the mass number would be 40.
20 for the stable atom
0 is the charge of the isotope because it has 19 electrons and 19 protons but 20 neutrons. Even if the number of neutrons changes it has no effect on the charge of the atom so 19- and 19+ leads to a neutral or no charge. 0 is the answer
