The term isotope is used to indicate the different varieties of a single element, based upon variations in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Every atom can be described as an isotope if we specify the number of neutrons. And every atom can lose electrons (a process officially called ionization). There is no relation between the number of neutrons and the loss of electrons.

Which is not true all isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons?
All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.
How many valence electrons does actinium have?
There are 2 valence electrons in Actinium.
What are the negative particles of isotopes called?
These particles are electrons.
How many electrons are their in uranium - 237?
All the isotopes of uranium (in neutral state) have 92 electrons.
What element has as many electrons as it has neutrons?
There are particular isotopes that have similar number of electrons and neutrons. Some of these isotopes include hydrogen-2, helium-4, carbon-12 and nitrogen-14.
Are radioactive isotopes produced when atoms lose electrons?
When atoms lose electrons cations are produced.
How many electrons and isotopes are in a helium atom?
2 electrons. He-4 and He-3 are the two most occuring isotopes.
Do isotopes differ by number of electrons?
Isotopes differ by the number of protons.
Would isotopes of the same element have the same number of electrons?
Yea because isotopes only differ in their # of neutrons, not electrons
Do isotopes contain more electrons than other Atoms?
No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.
How many electrons does a sulfur has?
All the isotopes of sulfur has 16 electrons.
What are the number of electrons in each of the three isotopes of oxygen?
eight electrons
Why isotopes of an element show identical chemical properties?
The number of electrons in isotopes is identical.

What two property do isotopes have?
Protons and Electrons
Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of electrons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons an electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
Do atoms of metallic elements tend to gain or lose electrons?
Metals usually lose electrons, this is why many charges are positive.
