Do isotopes contain more electrons than other Atoms?
No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.
Do the atomic number of isotopes differ?
No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.
Would isotopes of the same element have the same number of electrons?
Yea because isotopes only differ in their # of neutrons, not electrons
How much do isotopes that share an element differ in the number?
Isotopes have a different number of neutrons but the number of protons and electrons is the same.
Do the atomic numbers of such isotopes differ?
No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of electrons?
No. The only difference between 2 isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons.
How do isotopes of a given element differ How are they similar?
Isotopes have same number of electrons, same atomic no. but different mass no. They are from the same element like isotopes of carbon. They are not having same number of neutrons. They show same electronic configuration.
What do the nuclei of different technetium isotopes have in common?
All have the same number of protons and electrons. They differ in the number of neutrons.
How do the atoms of one isotope differ from those of other isotopes of the same element?
Primarily, isotopes differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Secondarily, because some combinations of protons and neutrons produce an unstable nucleus, they may differ by being radioactive.
All the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
No they don't have. Isotopes of an element differ in mass from from each other and this is due to the different no. of electrons in their nucleus.
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.
How are 2 isotopes of an element similar?
Their atoms have the same number of protons and electrons and therefore have the same chemical properties. However, the atoms do differ in the number of neutrons and so their physical properties are slightly different.
