Isotopes differ by the number of protons.
No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.
No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.
Yea because isotopes only differ in their # of neutrons, not electrons
Isotopes have a different number of neutrons but the number of protons and electrons is the same.
No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.
No. The only difference between 2 isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons.
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.
All have the same number of protons and electrons. They differ in the number of neutrons.
Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons. All atoms are neutral - they always contain the same number of protons (positive) as electrons (negative). If they lose or gain electrons, they become ions. If they lose or gain protons (as in radioactive decay), they become a different element. An element is defined by its atomic number, which is the number of protons. Atoms may differ in their atomic mass. The difference is due to differing numbers of neutrons. The atomic mass on the periodic chart is the proportional average of all the naturally occurring isotopes. To determine how many neutrons in an atom, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.
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.
False. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon that differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei, not electrons. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of electrons in an atom is determined by its atomic number, which is the same for both isotopes of carbon (6 electrons).
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.
