Is every atom in an element exactly the same?
No. Atoms of the same elements can have different numbers of neutrons.
Atoms of different elements are different because they have different numbers of what type of particle?
Atoms are considered to be of the same element if they have the same number of protons. If their atoms have a different number of NEUTRONS, they are known as ISOTOPES of the same element.
It is possible for the atoms of two different elements to have the same number of electrons?
Yes, if they are both ions
What isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of?
Isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of neutrons.
What are two ways in which atoms of different elements are different from one another?
They have different numbers of electrons, protons and neutrons. These small differences can change the element dramatically.
What do you know about two atoms if their atoms numbers are different?
the two atoms belong to two different elements
Do atoms of a different element have different numbers of protons?
Yes, atoms of different elements have a different number of protons.
A difference in the atomic number of atoms means the atoms are of same or diffierent elements?
Different atomic numbers represent different elements.
Atoms of differnent elements have different numbers of?
Non-ionic and non-isotopic atoms (i.e normal, stable atoms) all have different numbers of protons and electrons.
Does any element have different types of atoms?
Most elements have different types of atoms. These variations on an element's atoms are called isotopes and have different numbers of neutrons and thus different atomic masses. It is also possible to artificially create other isotopes of elements that do not exist "naturally," even for the few elements that normally have only one isotope (e.g. gold, arsenic, cobalt, aluminum, phosphorus).
Are all atoms of a given element identical to one another and different from atoms of other elements?
No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.
Do some atoms have more or fewer protons than will other atoms of the same element?
No. The atomic number of an element is determined by its number of protons. If two atoms have different numbers of protons, they have different atomic numbers and are different elements.
Is every atom in an element exactly the same?
No. Atoms of the same elements can have different numbers of neutrons.
How can Atoms vary?
Atoms and elements can vary in many ways. Atoms mainly vary by having different numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrons. The count of protons makes up an elements mass number.
Atoms of different elements are different because they have different numbers of what type of particle?
Atoms are considered to be of the same element if they have the same number of protons. If their atoms have a different number of NEUTRONS, they are known as ISOTOPES of the same element.
Who said this atoms of differnet elements are differnet?
who said this atoms of different elements are different
It is possible for the atoms of two different elements to have the same number of electrons?
