Do all isotopes only occur in heavier elements?
No, isotopes of light elements exist as well. For example, there are several isotopes of the lightest element, hydrogen.No, even the lightest element (hydrogen (H)) has isotopes. These are called Deuterium and Tritium.All elements have isotopes but some of them are very unstable and have disappeared in nature over time.
Does every element has two stable isotopes?
No, Gold and several other elements have only one stable isotope, Promethium & Technetium as well as all elements heavier than Bismuth have no stable isotopes.
What is the different of isotopes and a same element?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that are only different by the number of neutrons they have
Which diagrams represent isotopes of the same element?
Only some special diagrams represents isotopes of the same element.
Which alkali metal element has no stable isotopes?
Elements with no stable isotopes include technetium (element 43) and promethium (element 61) and all elements heavier than lead (elements 83 and higher). Bismuth, element 83, is virtually stable with an extremely long half life of 1.9 x 1019 years.
What can you say about the basis difference in isotopes?
Isotopes of the same element ONLY differ in mass.
Isotopes of any element have a different number of?
isotopes have varying amounts of electrons ^ The above is wrong. Isotopes of an element vary in the amounts of neutrons within the nucleus only.
Are iron elements stable?
Iron is an element, and there is only one element called iron (Fe). There are no iron element(s), but if you mean isotopes, then some iron isotopes are stable, and some aren't. No known element is stable in of it's isotopes.
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of electrons?
No. The only difference between 2 isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons.
What type of atom has no neutron?
The only natural element without a neutron is hydrogen. There are isotopes (heavier versions) of hydrogen that have 1, or even 2, extra neutrons, but those isotopes are rare compared to the most common form of hydrogen found throughout the cosmos.
The various atomic weights of the same element are called?
Atoms of the same element with different atomic masses are known as isotopes. Isotopes differ only by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the isotopes. The number of protons is the same for all isotopes of an element (because if there were different numbers of protons, then the atoms would not be of the same element).
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of protons?
An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).
