Numbers of protons in the nucleus of an atom?
it will be same as the atomic number
Why do elements always have the same atomic numbers but not the same atomic mass?
Most elements have isotopes---atoms that have the same number of protons (and hence they are still that element) but different numbers of neutrons. For instance, sulfur found in nature has four stable isotopes: S-32 16 protons 16 neutrons S-33 16 protons 17 neutrons S-34 16 protons 18 neutrons S-36 16 protons 20 neutrons Each of these isotopes has a different mass, but all are sulfur because they have 16 protons.
Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of protons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
Is an isotope a electron?
Isotopes have same number of electrons. They have same number of protons, so their atomic numbers are same. They have different numbers of neutrons resulting different mass numbers.
What does it mean if two atoms are isotopes?
If two atoms are isotopes, it means they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Thus, they have the same atomic numbers, but different atomic masses.
What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
The atomic numbers refer to the?
the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom
What is an atom called when you have the same numbers of protons as electrons?
On average, in any atom, you will have the same number of electrons and protons.
Are the Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and?
The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
Do protons of an element vary?
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons determines the element.
What are the different numbers of neutrons called when two atoms have the same number of protons?
Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called "isotopes".
What is an isotone?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, but the same number of protons.
An atom will have the same numbers of protons as?
as the atomic number of the element
Atomic numbers and number of protons are same?
Yes, it is correct.
Numbers of protons in the nucleus of an atom?
it will be same as the atomic number
What can you say about the number of protons and electrons on a neutral object?
The numbers of protons and of electrons in a neutral object are the same.
Why do elements always have the same atomic numbers but not the same atomic mass?
Most elements have isotopes---atoms that have the same number of protons (and hence they are still that element) but different numbers of neutrons.
