What else can I help you with?
Radioactive isotopes have excess electrons?
No (this is valid for neutral atoms); anions have excess electrons.
Isotopes with unstable nuclei are?
Isotopes with unstable nuclei are radioactive and can undergo radioactive decay to achieve a more stable state. This decay process involves the release of radiation such as alpha or beta particles. The unstable isotopes are often used in various applications, including medicine and energy production.
Atoms of the same element with different atomic masses?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different atomic masses, characterized by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Despite having different masses, isotopes share the same number of protons and electrons. Certain isotopes may be unstable, leading to radioactive decay.
Do isotopes contain more electrons than other Atoms?
No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.
What is the meaninq of two isotopes stable and unstable isotopes?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons, and therefore different masses. Unstable isotopes are radioactive and undergo radioactive decay of their nuclei, while stable isotopes do not undergo radioactive decay.
Isotopes of elements?
Isotopes of elements are atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This causes isotopes of the same element to have different atomic masses. Isotopes can be stable or unstable, with unstable isotopes undergoing radioactive decay.
State what is meant by half life of radioactive isotopes?
This is the time in which half the the atoms was disintegrated.
What are 3 positive things that radioactive atoms can be used for?
- radiodiagnostic- treatment with isotopes- isotopes as tracers- sources of energyand many other
Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of electrons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons an electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
What does isotopes?
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
How many isotopes does ruthenium have?
Ruthenium has seven naturally occurring isotopes, with atomic masses ranging from 96 to 104. Additionally, there are numerous artificial isotopes of ruthenium that have been synthesized in the laboratory.
Can isotopes have positive and negative charges?
Isotopes are just the different possible nuclear weights of each element. Some are stable; some are unstable and radioactive. Since all atoms are isotopes and all isotopes are atoms, Isotopes can - and do - form ions, consequently they can have positive and negative charges.
