An atom of a certain element with a different number of neutrons compared with the common form of the element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but a different number of neutrons (which means that they have a different Atomic Mass number).
All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons, but some atoms have more neutrons than other atoms of the same element and therefore weigh more. These different atomic forms are referred to as isotopesof the element. In nature, an element occurs as a mixture of its isotopes. For example, consider the three isotopes of the element carbon, which has the atomic number 6. The most common isotope is carbon-12, which accounts for about 99% of the carbon in nature.
An atom with more than or fewer neutrons than protons is called an isotope.
Atoms of an element that have more or less neutrons than normal are called "isotopes".
Generally in an atom, the number of neutrons will be equal to or more than the number of protons.
It is an isotope i think!
isotopes
An atom is the smallest piece of an element. Said another way, and element is made up one and only one kind of atoms.
If the pure substance is not an element, the smallest part is a molecule (which is made of atoms) for instance, pure water is made of water molecules, which are made of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom If the pure substance is an element, the smallest part is an atom. (which is made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons) Pure hydrogen is made of atoms. A stable hydrogen atom has 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 1 electron. Protons and Neutrons can be broken down further into Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons. The Electron is a type of Lepton.
it is called an element.any atom of an element is the purest for of an element. atoms consist of electrons,protonsand neutrons.
Different atoms either have a different number of protons(which makes them different elements) or a different number of neutrons (which makes them isotopes of the same element).For example, hydrogen has one proton (and usually no neutrons) while helium has two protons (and usually two neutrons). However, hydrogen with one proton and two neutrons is called tritium(3H) while helium with two protons and one neutron is called helium-3 (3He).
I believe it is two isotopes of an element. Because an isotope is the amount of protons. with a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. hopefully this will help :)
Not always. Some atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are radioactive, whereas the other atoms are not.
Yes. Atoms with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that atom, but a variation in the number of neutrons does not change what the atom is.
The number of neutrons present in atoms of an element may differ. Atoms of an element which have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. These differ in mass but have the same chemistry.All of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are the same.
This atom is called isotope.
IsotopesThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element. The number of neutrons can vary. If two atoms of the same element have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei, they are isotopes of that element.
Isotope
An isotope is an atom of an element. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. However, all atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.
the atom is an isotope
Element is made by atom. atoms included many protons,neutrons and electrons.
All atoms of the same element are not identical. The atoms of same element with different number of neutrons are called as isotopes. Although, the number of protons and electrons are same in every atom.
Isotopesare variants of atoms of a particular chemical element, which have differing numbers of neutrons. Atoms of a particular element by definition must contain the same number of protons but may have a distinct number of neutrons which differs from atom to atom, without changing the designation of the atom as a particular element.
An atom is a nucleus of protons and neutrons with electrons orbiting around. An element is an atom with a specific amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons. A molecule is a bunch of atoms stuck together.
