neutrons = 22 (for the most stable isotope of argon, Ar-40)
The most stable isotope of Argon has 22 neutrons (Ar40)
Argon has 18 protons, 18 electrons. The most stable isotope of argon (Ar-40) has 22 neutrons.
The centre of argon consists of the nucleus of argon with 18 protons. Also there will be 22 neutrons in the nucleus for the most stable isotope of argon.
18 protons and 22 neutrons in the most commonly occurring isotope argon-40. In argon-36 there are 18 neutrons but this isotope is only present in nature at 0.34%
The element is argon and the isotope is 18Ar40
22 neutrons, for its most stable isotope.
An argon nucleus typically contains 18 protons and either 20 or 22 neutrons, depending on the isotope of argon. The most common isotope, argon-40, has 18 protons and 22 neutrons.
That statement is incorrect. Argon has an atomic number of 18, which means it has 18 protons in its nucleus. The number of neutrons in an argon nucleus can vary depending on the isotope, but a common isotope, Argon-40, has 22 neutrons.
The most stable isotope of Argon has 22 neutrons (Ar40)
Only one isotope has a given number of protons andneutrons. In this case it is Argon-40
Argon has 18 protons, 18 electrons. The most stable isotope of argon (Ar-40) has 22 neutrons.
The nucleus contains 18 protons and neutrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope of argon. Ar-20, the most common isotope of argon has 22 neutrons.
The centre of argon consists of the nucleus of argon with 18 protons. Also there will be 22 neutrons in the nucleus for the most stable isotope of argon.
18 protons and 22 neutrons in the most commonly occurring isotope argon-40. In argon-36 there are 18 neutrons but this isotope is only present in nature at 0.34%
The number of neutrons is 22(for the most stable isotope of argon, Ar-40)because you subtract the atomic mass from the atomic number then estimate!The most common isotope of Argon, 40Ar, (comprising about 99.6% of all naturally occurring Argon) has 22 neutrons 18 electrons 18 protons.Argon has 24 known isotopes ranging from 30Ar (with 12 neutrons) to 53Ar (with 35 neutrons).Of those only three are stable: 36Ar, 38Ar, and 40Ar.
There are 3 Isotopes with the following mass numbers: Argon 36 Argon 38 Argon 40 Argon has an atomic number of 18 (it therefore has 18 protons in its nucleus and 18 electrons flying round it). To get the number of neutrons one subtracts the atomic number from the mass number. This means that some Argon atoms have 18 neutrons, some 20 neutrons and some 22 neutrons the isotope with 22 neutrons is the most common and forms 99.6% of all Argon.
The element is argon and the isotope is 18Ar40
