How may atoms of the same element differ from one another?

Atoms of the same element can differ from one another in their atomic mass, which is determined by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. These variations are called isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.


How atoms and elements differ from one another?

An element is a composition of many atoms. Thus you can hold NaCl (salt) in your hand. You can't hold the atoms it makes up.


Do atoms of the same element differ in chemical properties?

No. Atoms of the same element have the same chemical properties.


Can atoms of radioactive element change into atoms of another element by emitting radiation?

Yes


What is the key difference that causes the atoms of one element to differ from the atoms of the other elements?

number of protons


Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?

Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.


Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons?

isotopes


What Atoms of the same element are alike and?

Atoms of the same element are alike in terms of their number of protons, which determines the element. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain, leading to different isotopes of that element.


Atoms of one element change in to atoms of another element during chemical reactions?

During chemical reactions atoms remain unchanged.


In any element all atoms are?

In any element, all atoms are identical in terms of their number of protons in the nucleus, which determines the element's identity. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons, resulting in isotopes.


All Atoms Of An Element Are Exactly?

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.


What is a isotope apex?
