Question

How many protons electrons and neutrons are present in the following atoms​

Answer 1

Answer:the element is potassium

the proton and electron is 19 and the nuetron is 19

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The atomic number gives the number of protons 19

p = 19

The atomic mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons

p+n = 39 p = 19

Put p into the equation and solve for n the neutrons

19+n = 39

Subtract 19 from both sides

19-19+n = 39-19

n = 20

The number of electons equal the number of protons in a neutral atom. The positive charge equal to the negative charge. The negative charge is the number of electons. This ion has a charge of +1. So solve for the negative charge.

-19+1 = -18

The negative charge is -18 so

e = 18
