When potassium-40 undergoes decay by electron capture the product is?

Electron capture decay is a decay process. In this process electron is captured and a proton is converted into a neutron. Hence, mass number remains same but atomic number is lowering by 1 in daughter atom. 

K has atomic number 19. Hence daughter atom should have 19 - 1 = 18 as the atomic number. Hence, produced particle is Ar. but the mass number of Ar remains as same as 40.

The equation is,
₁₉⁴⁰K + ₋₁⁰e → ₁₈⁴⁰Ar

1. why does the same side of the moon always face earthc.the rotational period of the moon is equal to one revolution around earth2. which is greater the moons period of rotation or its period of revolution  b.the moons revolution period around earth3.what was the major accomplishment of the apollo missions  c.sending the first human into space4. which of these space missions involved the deployment of lunar roversa. voyager 15. which scientists are going to explore next on kepler-186fd. evidence of existence of life6.which mission is not going to explore the outside of the solar  systemb.safir7.which technology limit the future of space explorationb. scientist must first develop certain technologies before missions can be completed.

Ithink a i think i tried i hope that : )
