39 is the atomic mass of one atom of potassium. This is essentially the weight of one atom
Potassium bromide has the formula KBr and it contains one atom of Potassium (K) and one atom of Bromine (Br).
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.)
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.
The symbol for the cation formed when a potassium atom loses one electron is K+, and is named the potassium ion.
39 is the atomic mass of one atom of potassium. This is essentially the weight of one atom
Every atom of potassium has a mass of 39 amu. Each mole of potassium has a mass of 39 grams.
39.0983 or 39
lose only one electron
The atomic number of potassium is 19.The atomic weight of potassium is 39,0983(1).The mass number of the isotope potassium-39 is 39.
Potassium bromide has the formula KBr and it contains one atom of Potassium (K) and one atom of Bromine (Br).
The element is potassium. Atomic mass is 38.
The chemical formula of potassium hydroxide is KOH: 1 atom of potassium, 1 atom of oxygen, 1 atom of hydrogen.
Since potassium chloride has the formula KCl and the mass of the lost electron from neutral potassium is negligible compared with the mass of the protons and neutrons in the potassium atom nucleus, the molecular mass of potassium in this compound is the same as the atomic mass of potassium, 39.098.
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.)
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.
There are two elements in potassium chloride. One atom of potassium and one atom of chlorine react to form potassium chloride.
