Answer 1

`\tt \large{\bold{_(19)^(40)K^(+1)}}`

Further explanation

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

The element has : 19 protons, 21 neutrons, and 18 electrons.

atomic mass = protons+neutrons = 19+21=40

atomic number=number of protons=19

charge of elements = protons-electrons = 19-18=+1

The element in the periodic system having the atomic number 19 is K

So symbol of element

`\tt \large{\bold{_(19)^(40)K^(+1)}}`
