What is the difference between isobar and isotope?
isobars are elements with same mass numbers (Atomic Mass) and different atomic number (number of proton or electron)
Do all of the elements have the same atomic number?
All isotopes of an element have the same atomic number because they have the same number of protons. However, they have a different mass because they have a different number of neutrons.
Why is atomic number better than atomic mass for organizing the elements in the periodic table?
Atomic number is a unique number for each element. No two elements have the same atomic number. Atomic number is also the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of any given atom. Atomic mass, however, is the number of protons, neutrons and electrons. The number of neutrons can vary with different isotopes of the same element, this means that atomic mass can vary with different isotopes. So atomic number does not vary, but atomic mass does, so it is more logical to use atomic number to organize the elements. In addition, when the elements are arranged according to atomic number into seven rows and 18 columns, it becomes evident that there are certain trends that occur across the periods, and that elements in the same group have similar properties.
How atomic number better than atomic mass?
No two elements may have the same atomic number. But two elements may have same atomic mass. Hence atomic number is better than atomic mass.
Can atoms of two different elements have the same atomic number and could they have the same mass number?
The atomic number, or Proton number, defines which element it is. So by definition, two different elements must have a different atomic number, or else they'd be the same element. Atomic mass is the number of protons + neutrons in the element's nucleus. Since the number of neutrons in the nucleus can vary, even within a single element (as isotopes) it is possible to have one isotope of one element sharing an atomic mass with an isotope of another element.
What happens where two elements have the same atomic number?
No two different elements can have the same atomic number.
If the atomic number of 4 different elements is 102 what does itmean?
Atomic number is unique. It cannot be same for different elements.
What same elements have the same atomic number?
though your question is unclear, each element has its own atomic number. every sample of Sulfur (S) that exists has the atomic number of 16. No different elements share the same atomic number.
A difference in the atomic number of atoms means the atoms are of same or diffierent elements?
Different atomic numbers represent different elements.
What is the difference between isobar and isotope?
isobars are elements with same mass numbers (Atomic Mass) and different atomic number (number of proton or electron)
What element has the Same atomic number but different number of neutrons?
Almost all the elements have different isotopes having same atomic no but different mass no or neutrons.
Can atoms of different elements have the same number of protons be from the same element?
No. Each type of atom (element) has its own unique number of protons, which is called the atomic number. Atoms of the same element will always have the same atomic number (number of protons). Atoms of different elements will never have the same atomic number (number of protons).
Do all of the same elements have the same atomic number?
All isotopes of an element have the same atomic number because they have the same number of protons. However, they have a different mass because they have a different number of neutrons.
Do all of the elements have the same atomic number?
All isotopes of an element have the same atomic number because they have the same number of protons. However, they have a different mass because they have a different number of neutrons.
Why the mass number of the same atom of an element is not constant?
Since you have isotopes of elements. Isotopes are elements with different number of neutrons hence why the different atomic masses for the same elements.
Two different elements cannot have the same on the periodic table?
Atomic number
Can two elements have same atomic number?
atomic massAll atoms of the same element have the same number of protons . So they all have the same atomic mass(provided they are the same isotope) . Different elements will have different numbers of protons, so therefore different atomic numbers.
