How do atoms with different atomic numbers differ from each other?
It is because that they have a different number of protons and neutrons and electrons.
How do sodium atom and a positive sodium ion differ?
The sodium ion has less electrons than protons whereas the sodium atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons
Protons neutrons and electrons combine to form what?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons can form any type of atom on the Periodic Table of Elements.The amount of protons determine what type of element an atom is.If the number of neutrons differ from the stable amount it should have, the atom is known as an isotope.If the amount of electrons differ from the amount of protons, the atom is known as an ion.
How many protons neutrons and electrons in 40 Ar?
18 protons 18 electrons 22 neutrons
What do all sodium isotopes have in common and how do they difference?
They have the same number of protons and electrons.
Do isotopes differ by number of electrons?
Isotopes differ by the number of protons.
How do electrons differ from both protons and nuetrons?
Electrons are very tiny compared to protons and neutrons. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons are positive and neutrons are neutral.
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
How do atoms with different atomic numbers differ from each other?
It is because that they have a different number of protons and neutrons and electrons.
Atoms of one element differ from atoms of another?
By number of protons/electrons.
How do sodium atom and a positive sodium ion differ?
The sodium ion has less electrons than protons whereas the sodium atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons

How do positively charged objects differ from negatively charged objects?
Positively charged objects have more protons than electrons. Negatively charged objects have more electrons than protons.
Are all atoms alike?
No. Atoms differ in the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Do protons electons and neutrons differ in mass?
As I remember neutrons and protons weight something similar, electrons have a far smaller mass which is negligable in comparison to the weight of protons.
How does protons nuetrons and electrons differ?
All have spin one-half. Protons have a charge of positive one; electrons, negative one; neutrons, neutral. Protons and neutrons have about the same mass; electrons are much less massive. Protons and neutrons have an internal structure -- ie, they are composed of quarks -- while electrons are just themselves. The first two are "hadrons" and the latter is a "lepton."
Do the atomic numbers of such isotopes differ?
No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.
