How many protons are in an atom of a pure element?
Each chemical element has a specific number of protons; the number of protons is equal to atomic number of the element.
Do all the atoms have the same proton number?
In respect to different elements, no they don't, in respect to like atoms of one particular element, yes they do. The electrons are the particles that vary from like atoms of the same element. When the electrons and protons are uneven within an atom, you have a radioactive element.
What is the name of the element that has 51 protons?
Antimony has 51 protons.
How many protons are found in the element of barium?
Barium has 56 protons.
How much protons neutrons and electrons does manganese have?
25 protons 25 electrons normally 30 neutrons but it can vary between 21 and 40.
What is the same about all atoms of one elements?
They have the same number of protons.
Can carbon have 8 protons?
No, carbon can not have 8 protons. The number of protons in an element can not vary. Carbon can only have 6 protons (the atomic number). If an element has 8 protons, it is oxygen.
How many protons are in an atom of a pure element?
Each chemical element has a specific number of protons; the number of protons is equal to atomic number of the element.
What detemines the identit of an element?
The number of protons it has in the nucleus. Number of electrons and neutrons can vary but if the number of protons changes, you have a different element. Number of protons is a constant in an element which never changes.
What do atoms of the same given element share?
Atoms of a given element always have the same number of protons in their nucleus. Neutrons can vary (in different isotopes) and electrons can vary (in different ions) but protons are always the same for a given element. If the number of protons is changed, then you no longer have the same element.
Does all the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
No, the number of neutrons vary, but protons and electrons are static among an element.
Atoms of the same element always have the same number of what?
All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons in a nucleus. It is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus that determines the elemental identity of any atom. Period.
What makes any element that specific element?
The Atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element that specific element. Actually, it is only the protons. The number of neutrons and/or electrons can vary, and it is still the same element. The one thing that makes an element that specific element is only the number of protons.
What are atoms with mor neutrons than protons?
Atoms with more protons than neutrons are simply isotopes of an element. Atoms of an element always have the same number of protons. However, the number of neutrons can vary and can be higher, lower, or equal to the number of protons.
What subatomic particle number determines the identity of an element?
The number of protons, which is the atomic number of an element, determines the identity of an element.
Is an Element the same throughout?
By definition, every atom of a particular element will have the same number of protons. Every atom of hydrogen has one proton, every atom of helium has 2 protons, every atom of iron has 26 protons, and so on. The number of neutrons can vary, giving different isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons can also vary, giving ions of the same element.
What is the name of protons in the atoms of an element?
Protons are protons, no matter what element they are in.
