Atoms of different elements are different because they have different numbers of what type of particle?
Atoms of different elements are different because they have different numbers of protons in their nuclei. Protons carry a positive charge and determine the element's identity.
What are atoms that have the same atomic number but different neutron numbers?
Atoms that have the same atomic number but different neutron numbers are known as isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in their atomic mass.
Carbon exists as 12c6 and 14c6 these different forms of the same element are known as?
Isotopes. These are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses.
Dalton hypothesized that atoms are indivisible and that all atoms of an element are identical. It is now known that .?
It is now known that atoms can be divided into subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons) and that isotopes of an element can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms are not indivisible and they can differ in properties even within the same element.
How is it possible for two atoms of the same element to have different masses?
Two atoms of the same element can have different masses if they contain different numbers of neutrons. These are known as isotopes of the element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but differing numbers of neutrons, which can slightly alter their atomic mass.
Are all atoms of a given element identical to one another and different from atoms of other elements?
No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.
When atoms of the same element have different mass numbers they are known as?
isotopes
What is the name for atoms of an element that have different masses?
An atom or element that have different masses are known as isotopes.
What are atoms element that have a different number of neutrons known as?
Isotopes
Atoms of the same elements that differ only in the number of neutrons are known as?
Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. An isotope is known by its mass number, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
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.
What are atoms of the same element with different masses called?
These are known as isotopes.
