Each isotope, stable or unstable, has a specific symbol; for example K-40 for potassium 40.
no
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 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.
Sg is the symbol for Seaborgium. It is element number 106 and the most stable isotope created of it has an atomic mass of 263.

no
An isotope of potassium with 22 neutrons has an atomic number of 19 and atomic mass of 41. The symbol is K with a subscript 19 and superscript 41.

This is a stable isotope of sulfur: 1616S.

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.
it must eject the extra nucleons and should be conveted into a stable isotope.
Carbon 12 and Carbon 13 are stable. All other isotopes of carbon are unstable and radioactive
Potassium 31 is potassium's normal state, the way you would find it on the Periodic Table. I presume potassium 41 is an isotope of potassium. (An isotope is the same atom, but it has a different number of neutrons, so the mass differs.)
