Given information
Here the number of neutrons present in the argon isotope is:
Number of neutrons 
We have to find out the isotopic symbol of argon.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The isotopic symbol of an element can be represented in the form (X-A), where 'X' represents the chemical element and 'A' indicates the mass number.
Here the atomic number of 
is 
and the number of neutrons is 
and we have to find out the mass number of to represent the isotopic symbol.
The sum of atomic number(Z) and neutrons (N) of an atom is called the mass number (A) and it can be shown as:
Hence the mass number of with neutrons is:
Thus the isotopic symbol of argon with neutrons is represented as 
.
