What is an atom the has a different number of nuetrons than other atoms of the same element?
An isotope.
What make an atom an isotope?
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
Atom of an element with different number of neutrons?
Isotope
Are beryllium atoms identical?
Each atom of an isotope of beryllium (or of another element) is different from the atoms of an other isotope. But all the atoms of an isotope are identical.
If the number of neutrons in an atom is changed does the atom become a new element Why or why not?
No, it becomes a different isotope. An element is defined solely by the number of protons.
What differentiates an isotope of an element from any other atom of that element?
Isotopes are species of atoms having same atomic no. but different atomic masses. So an isotope has either lesser or more neutrons than the usual atom of the element ( often called the most abundant isotope).
What is it called when the atom of an element has a different number of protons?
an isotope.
What differentiates an atom from an isotope?
An isotope is an atom of an element. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. However, all atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom How does it differ from the element atom?
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?
Does an atom retain the chemical identity of an element?
An isotope is an atom that contains a different number of neutrons. In order for an element to change there has to be a different number of protons.
What do you call an atom of the same element that has a different number of netrons?
an isotope
What is an Atom of an element that differs in number of neutrons compared with other atoms of same element?
This atom is called isotope.
