no they are not the same element bc isotopes have the same amount of protons but not the same amount of neutrons or electrons!

Are hydrogen-3 and helium-3 isotopes of the same element?

No. hydrogen-3 (tritium) has a nucleus with one proton and two neutrons, and is unstable. Helium-3 has a nucleus with two protons and one neutron, and is stable.


Two atoms are isotopes if they contain?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element which differ in the number of neutrons they contain. For example, helium-3 (3He), with two protons and one neutron in each nucleus, and helium-4 (4He), with two protons and two neutrons, are two different isotopes of helium. Nearly all elements found in nature are mixtures of several different isotopes. Although the chemical properties of isotopes of the same element are the same, the physical properties differ. The natural proportions of the isotopes are expressed in the form of an abundance ratio.


What is the meaning of the term isotopes?

An isotope is a form of an element. Isotopes (forms of an element) occur when an atom/s of a single chemical element gains or loses 1 or more neutrons. Eg.. the first isotope "Hydrogen-1" or "Protium" hydrogen has 1 proton in the centre of the atom or nucleus, and 1 electron going around on the outside, isotope two "Hydrogen-2" or "Deuterium" Hydrogen, has 1 proton AND 1 neutron in the nucleus and 1 electron, and isotope three is "Tritium" Hydrogen that has 1 proton, 2 neutrons and 1 electron. The number of protons always stays the same, it's the number of neutrons that determines the form of an element or in other words the isotope.


Isotopes are atoms of the same element that different numbers of?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. This leads to variations in atomic mass for isotopes of the same element.


Is an Element the same throughout?

By definition, every atom of a particular element will have the same number of protons. Every atom of hydrogen has one proton, every atom of helium has 2 protons, every atom of iron has 26 protons, and so on. The number of neutrons can vary, giving different isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons can also vary, giving ions of the same element.

Are hydrogen negative 3 and helium negative 3 isotopes of the same element?

No.


Are hydrogen-3 and helium -3 isotopes of the same element?

No, hydrogen-3 (tritium) and helium-3 are not isotopes of the same element. Hydrogen-3 is an isotope of hydrogen, while helium-3 is an isotope of helium. They have different numbers of protons and neutrons in their nuclei, giving them distinct chemical and physical properties.


Are isotopes atmos of hydrogen is of the same element or different elements?

The isotopes of hydrogen are all hydrogen. They have the same number of protons, or atomic number, which is unique to each element.


Are hydrogen-3 and helium-3 isotopes of the same element?

No. hydrogen-3 (tritium) has a nucleus with one proton and two neutrons, and is unstable. Helium-3 has a nucleus with two protons and one neutron, and is stable.


Is helium considered as a metalliod?

Helium (He) and hydrogen (H) are NOT considered as isotopes as they have different atomic numbers (two and one respectively). The identity of an element is determine by the atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus. Isotopes are atoms of the same element (and so the same number of protons) that have a different number of neutrons.See the Related Questions links for more information.

What elements are in a star versus a nebula?

they both have the same element. which is hydrogen and helium.


What are atoms of the same element with different numbers neutrons called?

'ISOTOPES'. The definitive statement is ' Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons'. NB Do NOT confuse with 'Allotropes' . Allotropes of the same element exhibit different physical characteristics. The elements Sulphur and Phosphorus are the two classic examples of allotropes.


How are isotopes the same?

How isotopes same as element alike?


What are facts about isotopes of the same element?

Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons.


Do all isotopes only occur in heavier elements?

No, isotopes of light elements exist as well. For example, there are several isotopes of the lightest element, hydrogen.No, even the lightest element (hydrogen (H)) has isotopes. These are called Deuterium and Tritium.All elements have isotopes but some of them are very unstable and have disappeared in nature over time.


What Have different isotopes of the same element?

Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons and mass.
