Number of proton K => 19 
therefore, 42 - 19 = 23.

So the answer is 19 protons and 23 neutrons.

The atomic number is the number of protons, while the atomic mass is the number of protons added to the number of neutrons. By definition, potassium (K) has atomic number 19, so it should have 19 protons. If it has a mass of 42, then the number of neutrons is 42 - 19 = 23 neutrons. This is choice (1).

The volume of a fixed mass of a liquid sample increases as the temperature rises from 20 to 40˚c. does the density increase, dec
Mandarinka [93]
Density is the ratio of the substance's mass to volume. To know the effects of temperature on the density of the liquid, we must look at the mass and volume dependence. Mass is always constant, so it is not affected by temperature. For volume, generally, the molecules of the liquid occupy a greater space when heated because of the rapid collisions of the liquid molecules. Thus, as temperature increases, the volume of liquid also increases, although slightly only. That means that density would decrease.

Which of the following best describes plasma?
elena-s [515]

The correct option is D.

Nowadays, scientists classified substances into four states of matter, which are: solid, liquid, gases and plasma. Plasma are hot ionized gas that is made up of equal number of positively and negatively charged ions. The ions in the plasma have very high kinetic energy which allow them to move around at high speed. Plasma is typically produce by heating gases to very high temperature.
