What are most of the elements made of?
Elements are not made of other elements. They are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. They all differ in configuration.
What are the 100 most common elements made of?
Elements are not made of other elements. They are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. They all differ in configuration.
WHEN DO ELEMENTS DIFFER FROM EACH OTHER?
The difference is made by the number of protons, specifi for each element.
What are characteristics of elements?
The characteristics of elements are that they cannot be broken down any further by chemical means. They differ by the number of protons in their nuclei.
Can atoms of the same element differ in atomic number?
no. elements are defined by their atomic number (the number of protons).
What is the key difference that causes the atoms of one element to differ from the atoms of the other elements?
number of protons
Do all elements of the periodic table have the same type of atoms?
No. Atoms differ in number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
What is the key difference that causes atoms of one element to differ from the other atoms of all other elements?
The number of protons. This is given by the atomic number.
How are elements determind?
Elelments are determined by the amount of protons they have. While different elements can have the same number of neutrons and protons, no two different elements can have the same amount of protons.
Elements with more than 92 protons are called?
Elements with more than 92 protons are called Transuranic elements.
How do two isotopes differ from one another?
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes of different elements differ in the number of protons and neutrons. For instance, carbon-12, a stable form of carbon, has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14, a radioactive form of carbon that occurs in nature, has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Nitrogen-16, on the other hand, also radioactive and occurring in the primary coolant of nuclear power plants, has 7 protons and 9 neutrons.
How are protons related to elements?
Protons are the positive charge electrons in atoms that make up elements.
