What particles differ in number in isotopes of the same element?
neutron
Are isotopes of an element charged particles?
No, that's an ion. An isotope is an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons.
What aspect of an atom's subatomic particles defines which element it is?
The number of protons determines the element, and is the same as its atomic number.
How is are element and an atom different?
An atom is an individual particle made of protons(positively charged particles), electrons(negatively charged particles) and neutrons(particles with no charge). The type of atom depends on the number of protons in the nucleus(the centre of the atom). An element is all atoms of the same type.
What is the smallest part of an atom that can keep all the properties of an element?
All atoms have the same parts (protons,neutrons and electrons ). they just differ in number. So i don't think there's a smallest part of an atom that can keep all properties of an element. An element is defined by its Z number, which is the number of protons it has.
What is the particles of an element?
atoms which have the same properties of that element
What is the smallest paticle of an element that has the same properties of the element?
An atom.
What is in an atom of sulfur?
Sulfur is an element. An atom is the smallest division of an element that remains the same element--any further division of the element divides it into its atomic particles. The most common isotope of a sulphur atom has 16 electrons, 16 protons, and 16 neutrons.
Electrons are the smallest particle of an element that retains the original characteristics of the element?
No. This is a definition of an atom. Electrons are only part of atoms.
What is a pure substance that has all particles the same?
An element.
What particles differ in number in isotopes of the same element?
neutron
What is The smallest particle of an element t?
An atom. An atom can be split into smaller pieces, but if you do that, you no longer have the same element.
The smallest particle in physics?
That depends. The smallest particle in the classic physics is te atom. In the modern physics is the quark (quark is the composition of an eletron). WHAT IS THE SMALLEST PARTICLE The quark
What is the relationship between atoms and an elements?
An element is made by atoms. smallest part of element is atom.
Are atoms the smallest compment of matter?
No, this is a misconception. Atoms are the smallest particles which have the same properties of an element. Smaller still, the nucleus of the atom, it contains the protons and neutrons of the atom, and electrons orbit around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are made out of even smaller particle, quarks.
What are the properties of particles?
The atom is the smallest part of matter that represents a particular element. For quite a while, the atom was thought to be the smallest part of matter that could exist. But in the latter part of the 19th century and early part of the 20th, scientists discovered that atoms are composed of certain subatomic particles and that, no matter what the element, the same subatomic particles make up the atom. The number of the various subatomic particles is the only thing that varies. Scientists now recognize that there are many subatomic particles (this really makes physicists salivate). But in order to be successful in chemistry, you really only need to be concerned with the three major subatomic particles: Protons Neutrons Electrons
Is the element is the smallest particle?
An element is a substance that is composed of atoms that are all of one type. Every atom, in turn, consists of at least two types of particles, protons and electrons. All of the atoms in a sample of an element have the same number of protons in them. It's a lot more complicated than this but this is a good start.
