How do scienctist tell the difference between two isotope of the same element?

Isotopes of the same element are determined based off the number of neutrons the atom has which is directed related to the atomic mass of the element( the more neutrons the greater the mass of that atom). Because you can not change the number of protons in an atom without changing the element, scientist differentiate isotopes based off the atomic mass of the isotope.


Does the element change when the atomic mass changes?

yes the element changes when the atomic mass changes


What can the atomic number and what things can it identify?

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an element. It is what determines what kind of an element it is. When you change the number of protons in the nucleus, you change the type of element.


Can boiling temperature of an element change?

The boiling temperature of an element can change by changing the pressure.


When the atomic mass changes does the element change also?

no


What information in the periodic table indicats the number of protons in a atom?

The atomic number represents the number of protons in the element. This number is unique to that element, if you change the atomic number (number of protons) then you change the element.


What is the law called that states the repeating chemical and physical properties of elements change periodically with the atomic numbers of the elements?

An element's atomic number is equal to the amount of electrons or protons in an atom of that element. When an atomic number increases or decreases, the amount of electrons is changing.


Can the atomic number of an particular element ever change?

No, the atomic number of an element can't change. Because, we can identify an element by its atomic number and atomic mass. and hence they have been arranged in the periodic table on the basis of their mass number and atomic mass so , it couldn't be changed. Every element has a fixed atomic number..


Why would an elements atomic number change after transmutation?

Transmutation by definition means the conversion of one element into another, and so it follows that its atomic number must also change. Every element has a unique atomic number.


Can the atomic mass of a particular element ever change?

yes


Is changing direction really the same as changing speed?

No. It is possible to change direction without changing speed. However, it is not possible to change direction without changing velocity.


Does changing the number of neutrons affect what type of element it is?

No. You have to change the number of protrons.(Changing the number of neutrons changes the isotope of the element, but it is still the same element. However, changing the number of neutrons will often result in instability, causing a radioactive decay sequence, which often results in a change in element.)
