Question

How are potassium- $39,$ potassium- 40 , and potassium-41 different from each other? Write the isotope symbols for the three isotopes of potassium.

David Collins · Accepted Answer

all of these different forms of potassium called isotopes of potassium Tassi, Um, 39 which has, uh, this particular isotopes symbol have mass number of 39 an atomic number of 19. It asked him the difference between the mass number in the atomic number is the number of neutrons. So we have 20 new drums, potassium 40 something very similar, but with 21 neutrons and potassium, 41 as 22 neutrons. So the only thing that makes all of these different is their number of neutrons.

Sharfa Farzandh · Answer

Asi, um has three naturally occurring isotopes. They are potassium 39 potassium 40 and for Tasci in 41. But as him is denoted by the letter K. So if it had our mass number 39 it should be didn&#x27;t on the top left hand side corner and the atomic number is written on the bottom left hands are gonna So this is the symbol for potassium 39 potassium 40 is returned in a similar way. However, in Standoff 39 need right 40 on the top, left hand side corner and potassium for divine in a similar V. His return with the 41 on the top left turns I Connor and 19 from the bottom left hand side corner. They can see that all three of these potassium, um isotopes have the same number of protons which is equal to 19. And that is written on the bottom left hand corner. However, that the number of neutrons is different from isotope tries the door and what I see in 40 run has the highest has the highest number off neutrons needing to her hyo mass number 49. So basically all potassium buys the tubes have the same number off protons but have different numbers off neutrons, leading to a different mass number. You do them being isotopes, they will have the same chemical properties. However, because they have different masses, they will have different physical properties.

when you&#x27;re given an element and its mass number, you&#x27;re given enough information to determine how many protons, electrons and neutrons. Aaron that element. Um, I&#x27;ve marked an example element. I&#x27;ve just written me for any element and X as any number signifying the mass number. Now we know the mass number, as I&#x27;ve designated to the right, is equal to the number of protons, plus the number of neutrons in the Elinor. Um, the number of protons is easy to figure out because we know that&#x27;s always, um, equal to the atomic number of the elements. If it had a different amount of protons, it would have a different atomic number, and therefore it would be a different element. Um, electrons, we know, follow the same rules protons, although they don&#x27;t affect mass number. So we&#x27;ll leave that out here. So neutrons are the the weird factor here that can differ from the same element. But if we know the mash number weaken, Just subtract the mass number from excuse me by the number of protons to get the number of neutrons

Charotte Mcadam · Answer

so mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different amber neutron. So that&#x27;s just some contextual information to bear in mind as we discussed the main topic off this podcast. So here we need to determine the mass number of potassium that is starting night isotope. And then secondly will identify what the I stopped charges. So the mass number is 39. I was suggested by the name on the neutral atoms have zero net charge.

So now we&#x27;ll talk about problems. 58 from chapter four. This problem, whereas how do isotopes differ? And how are they similar isotopes for the same element. So isotopes differ in the number of neutrons. So of course, the number of neutrons being different also means that the mess number will be different. However, they are the same for the same element. Different isotopes Ah, and the number of protons and electrons and also atomic number, which is the same thing as the number of protons.

David Collins · Answer

isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons because they&#x27;re of the same element in the number of protons defines the element, but they have a different number of neutrons.
