Chapter 1, Problem 37P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Potassium is placed after argon in the periodic table while it has a lower relative atomic mass is to be accounted.

Concept Introduction:

Each of two or more forms of the element have the same atomic number but different atomic mass are called isotopes

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but have different number of neutrons in the nuclei of each atom.

Atomic number (Z) = number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom of the element = number of electrons present in a neutral atom of the element

Mass number (A) = numbers of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus = number of protons + number of neutrons
