Argon has 18 protons, 22 neutrons, and 18 electrons.
Argon protons
- Protons = atomic number
From the periodic table, find the atomic number of argon.
The atomic number of argon is 18. Hence, argon has a total of 18 protons.
Argon neutrons
- Neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
The atomic mass of argon is 39.948, so we’ll take the roundup value as 40. And the atomic number of argon is 18.
Subtract the atomic number (18) from the atomic mass (40). Hence, argon has a total of 40 – 18 = 22 neutrons.
Argon electrons
- Electrons = atomic number
The atomic number of argon is 18. Hence, argon has a total of 18 electrons.
