Argon-40 is the most common isotope of argon, making up about 99.6% of natural argon. It is formed by the radioactive decay of potassium-40 in rocks.
Chlorine has the atomic number of 17. To keep it neutral then, it must have 17 protons and 17 electrons. Chlorine's most common isotope is 35Cl. That means it has 35 - 17 = 18 neutrons.
As the atomic number of nitrogen is 7, the most abundant isotope of this atmospheric gas must have 7 neutrons (14.007 - 7 = about 7), and this will make nitrogen-14 that isotope that is most abundant.
it must eject the extra nucleons and should be conveted into a stable isotope.
Cerium's atomic number is 58. Thus, to be electrically neutral, cerium must have 58 protons and 58 electrons. 140Ce is its most abundant isotope with 140 - 58 = 82 neutrons.

In order to answer this question, a particular isotope of sulfur must be considered. The most common isotope is sulfur-32, which has 16 protons, 16 neutrons, and 16 electrons for a total of 48.
it must eject the extra nucleons and should be conveted into a stable isotope.
This must be a typo of some sort. No, argon is not "a hydrogen," whatever that means.
Cerium's atomic number is 58. Thus, to be electrically neutral, cerium must have 58 protons and 58 electrons. 140Ce is its most abundant isotope with 140 - 58 = 82 neutrons.
Potassium's atomic number is 19. That means that it must have 19 protons and 19 electrons to be electrically neutral. 39K is potassium's most common isotope, with 39 - 19 = 20 neutrons.
Magnesium's atomic number is 12. Thus, to be electrically neutral, it must have 12 protons and 12 electrons. 24Mg is magnesium's most common isotope having 24 - 12 = 12 neutrons.
The atomic number of am element is determined by its number of either electrons or protons, hence here, it is 18. Therefore the element must be argon which the isotope has mass number 38, as there are 18 protons and 20 neutrons.
To be a carbon atom or ion, it must contain 6 protons. There may be either 6, 7 or 8 neutrons along with the protons in the nucleus.
More than 99%of naturally occurring uranium is U-238. The valuable U-235 makes up less than 1% of uranium, and must be "enriched" in complicated processes.
