Do isotopes have the same atomic number and different mass numbers?
Wiki User
∙ 8y ago
Yes. Isotopes have the same atomic number because all of their atoms have the same number of protons. They have different mass numbers because their atoms have different numbers of neutrons, and mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons.

What does it mean if two atoms are isotopes?
If two atoms are isotopes, it means they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Thus, they have the same atomic numbers, but different atomic masses.
Atoms that have the same atomic numbers but different atomic weights are called what?
If they have the same atomic number but different mass, then they have a different number of neutrons, and they are called ISOTOPES.
Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.
Do the atomic numbers of such isotopes differ?
No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.
What isotopes of uncharded elements have different numbers?
The atomic number of the isotopes of an element is identical; the mass number is different.
Do isotopes of an element have the same atomic mass but different atomic number?
The different mass numbers are due to different numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes of uncharged elements have different numbers of which of these?
Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons Neutrons (:
Why do isotopes have the same atomic number?
Not a question of why. It just is, isotopes have the same atomic number, (which means that they are all the same element) with different neutron numbers.
Do Isotopes of uranium have different atomic numbers?
No. By definition isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (that is what makes them uranium, for example) but different numbers of neutrons (neutral particules in the nucleus which provide mass).
Form of an element having different atomic and number of neutrons?
Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
How do the atomic mass numbers of different isotopes of an element compare?
The different isotopes have different atomic mass numbers, because the isotope has different numbers of neutrons. The protons and electrons are the same, so the change in mass number is the same as the change in the number of neutrons.
Different isotopes have different what?
The isotopes of an element must have a different amount of neutrons. I'm pretty sure you know what these are, but just in case: A neutron is a sub-atomic part of an atom, together with protons and electrons.
