Atomic weight is not the same as atomic number for any element except hydrogen; this is the only element that has a radioactively stable isotope with no neutrons.

Is the atomic weight the same as the atomic number?
No, the atomic number is the number of protons that an atom contains. Atomic weight is the number of protons and neutrons.
Is the atomic number and atomic mass the same?
No, the atomic number is the amount of protons it has and the weight is its mass
Is the atomic number and the atomic weight the same?
No, the atomic number is the number of protons and electrons in a given element. The atomic weight is the weighted average of the isotopes in a natural environment.
Is atomic number the number of protons and neutrons?
No, the atomic number is the same number of protons and electrons. To find the neutrons, you subtract the atomic weight by the atomic number. Make sure to round the atomic weight as well.
What are 2 atoms with the same atomic number but different atomic weight?
ion
What has the same atomic number and atomic weight - nitrogen helium hydrogen argon?
hydrogen
Do atoms having the same atomic weight interact the same way chemically?
Not necessarily; the characteristic stated in the question is valid for atoms of equal atomic number, not atomic weight.
Is the mass and atomic mass the same?
No. The atomic weight is the number on the Periodic Table and is a weighted average of the atomic masses.
What is the atom with same atomic number but different mass number?
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
How can you calculate the number of neutrons N in an atom?
equal to number of protons
Is atomic weight and mass number the same?
Mass number: sum of protons and electrons in the nucleus of an isotope. Atomic weight: mass of a chemical element expressed in unified atomic mass units.
The atomic number is the same as the number of these two particles?
The "Atomic number" of an element corresponds to the number of only the protons in the nucleus of its atoms. Add to that the number of neutrons that are also in there, and you have the "Atomic weight".
