as
it is actually "As"
the "A" has to be capitalized to be correct, or it could stand for something totally different.
In addition to the above, it might be helpful to see how the answer is derived:-
First deduct the number of neutrons from the mass number -
73 minus 40 equals 33
This gives the Atomic Number 33. Reading down the Periodic Table to find element number 33, we find that it is Arsenic, chemical symbol As.

It has 41 (mass) - 21 (neutrons) = 20 protons, so its atomnumber is 20, which happens to be element Calcium. However Ca-41 is not naturally occurring, though it is quite stable (half-life time > 100,000 year).
The (only) element with atom number 33 is Arsenic(atom numbers are unique and equal to proton number).
With 41 neutrons it has to be isotope As-74 (the mass number is 74, because 33 protons + 41 neutrons = 74 mass).
The element is Potassium, with symbol "K". It has 19 protons.
The elements could be potassium or calcium and the isotopes will be, respectively, 19K41 or 20Ca41
the right answer is Ca
Calcium 6.0 * 10 ^23
The closest to 44 is Scandium, which has 21 protons and 24 neutrons, giving it a mass of 44.95591 amu.
41 amu 41 amu
An unknown element contains 24 protons, 21 electrons,and has mass number 54
The atomic number is 21: The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, while the atomic number is the number of protons, designated n. From the statement of the problem, n+n+3 = 45, or 2n = 42, or n=21.
The atomic number is the number of protons: 19.number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 21.The number of electrons is normally the same as the number of protons: 19
The atomic number of scandium is 21. So it has 21 protons and 21 electrons. Number of neutrons depends on the isotope. Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number Sc-45 isotope has 24 neutrons
chromium
K always has 19 protons, because that is what defines it as an element.40, the atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons. So if you subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass, you get the number of neutrons.40-19=21 neutrons
It is a radioactive scandium isotope - 43Sc with 21 electrons and protons, and 22 neutrons.
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)
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.
The closest to 44 is Scandium, which has 21 protons and 24 neutrons, giving it a mass of 44.95591 amu.
ONLY the K+ ion (not element) has 19 protons and 18 electrons.The isotopic ion with 21 neutrons must be K+-40 , the most rare potassium-ion (0.01%) out of three possibles, the other isotopes are: K+-39 (93%) and 7% is K+-41Explanation:39, 40 and 41 are the mass numbers of the 3 naturally occurring potassium isotopes.Keep in mind that:1. an element is always neutrally charged, so the number of protons (positives, + ) equals the number of electrons (negatives, - )2. the number of neutrons depends on the 'mass number' of the one particular isotope of that element and that the number of protons + neutrons is the mass number
21 protons, 21 electrons and 23 neutrons
This is the isotope neon-21 with the atomic mass 20,99384668(4).
To figure this out look at the mass number of scandium. It has a mass number of 45(im rounding it up to keep it simple). The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons that form the nucleus added together. So if we know 24 of these 45 particles have to be neutrons then there must be(45-24)= 21 protons. To check this awnser we look at the atomic number(the one above the symbol for the element) and we can see that it is 21 for scandium meaning our awnser is correct.
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.
