    How many protons, neutrons and electrons are contained in one atom of\[_{19}^{39}K\]?

    A)  \[19\] protons \[+\,\,20\] neutrons \[+\,\,19\] electrons  

    B)  \[19\] protons \[+\,\,20\] neutrons \[+\,\,20\] electrons

    C)  \[20\] protons \[+\,\,19\] neutrons \[+\,\,20\] electrons

    D)  \[20\] protons \[+\,\,20\] neutrons \[+\,\,19\] electrons

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[_{19}^{30}K\]gives the mass number\[(A)=39\] Number of protons in a neutral atom\[(Z)=\] Number of electrons\[=19\]. No. of neutrons\[(N)=A-Z\]\[=39-19=20\]
