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.
The decay product of potassium in a process called beta decay is calcium. Potassium-40 undergoes beta decay to become argon-40, which then decays further to become calcium-40 over a long period of time.
Calcium has more valence electrons than potassium. Potassium has only 1 valence electron, while calcium has 2 valence electrons.
Potassium hydroxide can be made by reacting potassium carbonate with calcium hydroxide. This reaction produces potassium hydroxide and calcium carbonate as byproducts.
Yes. The potassium will replace the calcium in the calcium chloride, producing potassium chloride and calcium. This is an example of a single replacement/displacement reaction. CaCl2 + 2K --> 2KCl + Ca
No, K is potassium; calcium is Ca.

potassium 40, Argon 40, Calcium 40.
Potassium-40 decays by emitting a beta particle, which is an electron. This decay process transforms potassium-40 into calcium-40.
Argon-40, potassium-40, and calcium-40 all have 40 protons and electrons in their atoms, but they have different numbers of neutrons. They are all stable isotopes, although potassium-40 is radioactive and undergoes decay to form argon-40.
Isobarsargon-40, calcium-40, sulphur-40, potassium-40 are example of isobars....
Atoms argon-40, potassium-40, and calcium-40 all have 40 protons, but differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei. They are all stable isotopes, with no natural radioactivity.
They have the same mass.
The element with an approximate atomic mass of 40 amu is Calcium (Ca).
Calcium or Potassium are not halogens but metals.
No, potassium hydroxide cannot be made by mixing potassium sulfate and calcium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide is typically produced through the electrolysis of potassium chloride. Mixing potassium sulfate and calcium hydroxide would not result in the formation of potassium hydroxide.
Calcium has more valence electrons than potassium. Potassium has only 1 valence electron, while calcium has 2 valence electrons.
Potassium-40 undergoes beta decay to form calcium-40, along with the emission of a beta particle and a neutrino. This process occurs with a half-life of around 1.25 billion years.
