Their atoms have the same number of protons and electrons and therefore have the same chemical properties. However, the atoms do differ in the number of neutrons and so their physical properties are slightly different.

What do different isotopes of a particular element contain the different number of?
Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
What element has as many electrons as it has neutrons?
There are particular isotopes that have similar number of electrons and neutrons. Some of these isotopes include hydrogen-2, helium-4, carbon-12 and nitrogen-14.
How are two isotopes of an element similar to each other?
The numbers of protons and electrons are identical.
What is the name for atoms of an element that have different masses?
An atom or element that have different masses are known as isotopes.
What are the 2 radioactive isotopes?
There are a lot more than 2 radio active isotopes... To answer this question a naturally or created radioactive element needs to be mentioned.
Plus how are all of the isotopes of an element similar?
All the isotopes of a chemical element have the same number of protons and electrons (in a neutral state).
What do different isotopes of a particular element contain the different number of?
Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.
How do you know whether not atoms are isotopes?
Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
What element has as many electrons as it has neutrons?
There are particular isotopes that have similar number of electrons and neutrons. Some of these isotopes include hydrogen-2, helium-4, carbon-12 and nitrogen-14.
Which statement is true Isotopes are atoms of different elements with equal mass. For the same element they have equal numbers of neutrons. Isotopes of a given element have similar chemical properties?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. They do have very similar chemical properties. In fact for most purposes we can consider them identical.
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.
How do isotopes of the same element similar from each other?
They will have a different number of neutrons.
How are two isotopes of an element similar each other?
The number of protons is the same.
How many stable isotopes does the element copper have?
copper has 2 stable isotopes
How are two isotopes of an element similar to each other?
The numbers of protons and electrons are identical.
How do isotopes of a given element differ How are they similar?
Isotopes have same number of electrons, same atomic no. but different mass no. They are from the same element like isotopes of carbon. They are not having same number of neutrons. They show same electronic configuration.
