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.


Isotopes have the same element but different?

Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.


Does all the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?

No, the number of neutrons vary, but protons and electrons are static among an element.


When can atoms of the same element vary in the number of?

Atoms of the same element can vary in the number of neutrons they have, resulting in different isotopes of that element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons, which affects their atomic mass.


Which element has the same number of neutrons as there are electrons in an f sublevel?

silicon


What are atoms of the same element?

They all have the same number of protons and electrons (and approximately the same number of neutrons).


Do all isotopes of an elements have different numbers of electrons?

No, all isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (which determines the element's identity) and therefore the same number of electrons in a neutral atom. Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they contain.


What is an isotope?

An isotope is an element with the same number of electrons and protons different number of neutrons.


The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?

The main difference between isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons, which affects their atomic mass.


How do two isotopes of an element same from another?

The number of protons and electrons is the same, the number of neutrons is different.


What do Atoms of the same element have same atomic?

All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which is its atomic number. A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons.


Isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties because they have the same number of?

...electrons.Isotopes contain the same number of protons (hence, the same number of electrons) and electrons are what determine reactivity. 2nd answer : The isotopes have the same chemical properties because the electronic configuration of an element is same there fore isotopes posses the same chemical properties .
