This isotope don't exist.

Added:

That's right, the element with atom number 41 has 41 protons and should be :

Naturally occurring niobium which is composed of one stable isotope, 41Nb(93)

This means that the mass number (= total of protons AND neutrons) is 93!, so this isotope of Nb has 93-41 = 52 neutrons!

As of 2003, at least 32 radioisotopes have also been synthesized, ranging in Atomic Mass from 81 to 113, so they have 40 to 82 neutrons. This makes the amount of 20 neutrons erronous.

However: if the question were 'inverted' to:

"What element has 21 (not 41) protons and 20 neutrons" instead, there is a possible more realistic question.

The answer to this is: scandium, 21Sc(41) This unstable isotope of Sc, with mass number 41, has 21 protons and 20 neutrons.

The element is Calcium (atomic number = 20 = number of protons). But no isotope of calcium has 41 neutrons.

Calcium (Ca) has a total of 24 isotopes, from 34Ca to 57Ca (with 14 to 37 neutrons).

What is the difference between mass no and atomic no of an atom gives the number of?

Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. The mass number however is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Each element has one specific atomic number (= no. of protons), but can have more different number of neutrons, hence it might have different mass numbers, those atoms are called 'isotopes' of an element. Examples are given below Calcium: Ca(40) has 20 protons and 20 neutrons (mass no. 40) Ca(41) has 20 protons and 21 neutrons (mass no. 41) Kalium: K(40) has 19 protons and 21 neutrons (mass no. 40) K(41) has 19 protons and 22 neutrons (mass no. 41)

How many protons neutrons and electrons have K-41?

Potassium-41 has 19 electrons and protons and 22 neutrons.


What element has 41 neutrons 36 protons 36 electrons charge unknown?

The element is determined by the atomic number - the number of protons in the nucleus. In this case, element 36 is Krypton. The mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Here we have a mass of 77, and a quick check confirms that an isotope of Krypton with a mass of 77 does indeed exist.


An element with the atomic number 41?

The element with the atomic number of 20 is calcium. Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of a particular isotope, but does not determine which element it is.


How many protons in niobium?

There are 41 protons in Niobium. The atomic number is the same as the number of protons.


How many neutrons does potassium-41 contain?

Potassium-41 contains 22 neutrons and 19 protons.


What is the chemical symbol of the element who is the mass number is 80?

A-N=Z Mass number - Number of neutrons= Atomic number mass number = 80, number of neutrons = 41; 80-41=39 Atomic number for the element with mass number 80 and 41 neutrons; is 39.

How are potassium 40 and calcium 40 alike?

They have different numbers of neutrons. All potassium atoms contain 19 protons. Potassium-39 has 20 neutrons while potassium-40 has 21. The extra neutron adds about 1 AMU to the mass of the atom.


How many protons does calcium-39 have?

The number of protons in an element will be the same regardless of the isotope or ion. To have a different number of protons would change what type of element it is. So, it is not necessary to say "how many protons does calcium-41 have?" because it is the same as saying "how many protons does calcium have?" The answer is the same in any case, the same as the atomic number, 20.
