Potassium naturally occurs in 3 isotopes: 39K (93.2581%), 40K (0.0117%), 41K (6.7302%). Two are stable, while the
radioactive isotope 40K decays with a half-life of 1.248×109 years to 40Ca and 40Ar. Conversion to stable 40Ca occurs via
electron emission (beta decay) in 89.1% of decay events. Conversion to stable 40Ar occurs via electron capture in the
remaining 10.9% of decay events.
