An isotope has same number of protons but a different number of neutrons as the original element in the atomic nucleus; it has the same atomic number as the element which isn't an isotope, but will have a different mass number.

The atoms of all isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons. If they are neutral atoms, the number of protons will equal the number of electrons.

isotopes of a given element differ in the number of neutrons they have.


What are atoms of a given element that have a different number of neutrons?

Isotopes.

number of neutrons and mass


Do isotopes of a given element act identically in chemical reactions?

Yes.


Is All isotopes of a given element are radioactive?

No. The most common isotope(s) of an element are often stable.


Why the isotopes have the same chemical properties?

The identity of a chemical element is given by the number of protons.


In what ways are isotopes alike?

Isotopes of a given element all have the same number of protons. They differ in their number of neutrons.


What name is given to elements wih the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons?

They are called as isotopes of the given element.


What is the difference between atomic mass number and atomic number?

Atomic mass number is the average atomic mass for that element, which is : All the isotopes' masses known for that element averaged up. Atomic number is the element's "identity", the number of protons the element and all its isotopes have. All the isotopes of a given element will have different number of electrons and neutrons, but the protons of the element never will change.


How do the isotopes of a given element differ from another?

In that they have different masses due to difference in neutrone number


How are isotopes the same but different?

Isotopes are different forms of the same element which have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. A given element is identified by the number of protons in its nucleus; that's its atomic number. Two different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but each has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. Different isotopes of the same element are chemically the same.


How many nutrons does zirconium have?

The number of neutrons for any given element varies, depending on the isotopes. Search the Wikipedia, or Google, for "Isotopes of Zirconium" for the isotopes of this particular element. The list of isotopes will give you the atomic mass (protons + neutrons) for the different isotopes; subtract the atomic number (which is the number of protons) to get the number of neutrons for each isotope.
