Isotopes of an element are the same in that they are both forms of the same element. All carbon isotopes, for example, are forms of the carbon atom. Each isotope will possess the same number of protons and electrons (equivalent to the element's atomic number). However, isotopes of an element possess different numbers of neutrons, altering their Atomic Mass. As such, if you know the atomic mass (or weight) of a given isotope, you already know the number of protons and electrons. Using the measured mass of the proton (around 1.007 amu) and the measured mass of the electron (around 0.00055 amu), you can determine the remaining mass from the neutrons and, consequently, the number of neutrons.
What else can I help you with?
Isotpes of elements have different?
atomic numbers
Which is the average of the mass number of an element isotpes?
The atomic weight or atomic mass.
How do isotpes of one element different and how are they alike?
the protons stay the same but the number of neutrons change. e.g hydrogen has two isotope deutrium has one neutron and tritium has 2 neutrons however the original hydrogen has no neutron. i hope this helped you.
Are atoms with the same atomic number atoms of the same element?
yes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, thus electorns, thus the same chemical properties. Where isotpes differ is in the number of neutrons. Consider hydrogen, atomic number 1, atomic weight 1, 1 proton, 1 electron vs duterium, atomic number 1 atomic weight 2, 1 proton, 1 electron, 1 neutron. H2O = water D2O = heavy water
What Have different isotopes of the same element?
Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons and mass.
Is it possible for atoms of the same chemical element to have different masses?
Yes, different isotopes of the same element have different masses.
Isotopes are forms of the same element that differ in what?
Yes, isotopes of an element are the same element but with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus and thus different atomic masses.
What are atoms of the same element but with different masses?
Atoms of the same element that have different masses are called isotopes of the element. The presence of different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus is responsible for the existence of isotopes of an element.
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
Do atom of the same element have same weight?
No, isotopes of the same element are of different weight.
How are atoms and elements similar and different?
they are alike because they all have mass ther diffrent because there lines, and isotpes
Do all atoms of the same element contain the same number of netrons?
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
