True or false two isotopes of carbon are carbon-12 and carbon-14 theese isotopes differ from one another by two ELECTRONS?
False, different isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons.
Which refers to atoms with the same atomic number but different atomic masses?
They are called isotopes. eg we have different isotopes of carbon
Two isotopes of the element rubidium differ in their number of protons?
no isotopes of a particular chemical element all have the same number of protons
Atom of same element with different number of neutrons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Carbon has several isotopes: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14, etc. They all have 6 protons but their mass and physical properties change due to the number of neutron.
How it is different a.m.u of carbon isotopes?
Isotopes have same atomic no. but different atomic mass due to presence of extra neutrons in the nucleus
How are the isotopes of an atom the same and how are they different?
Carbon-12 is the common carbon Carbon-14 sterilizing surgical apparatus
Which elements have different isotopes?
Many elements have different isotopes: 1) Carbon - Carbon 12, Carbon 14 2) Hydrogen - Protium, Deuterium, Tritium 3) Chlorine - Chlorine 35, Chlorine 37 etc
How are isotops the same and how are they different?
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.
What are atoms with the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons called?
Isotopes have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Different isotopes of a single element are on the same position on the periodic table of elements. The existence of isotopes was first suggested in 1913 by a radiochemist named Frederick Soddy.
If there are 2 or more atoms contain the same number of protons but different numbers of neutronswhat are they called?
They are called isotopes. An example of isotopes are Carbon-12 and Carbon-14.
Carbon 12 and carbon 13 are different in the number of what?
Neutrons. The number of protons is ALWAYS the same for the same element. Different forms of the same element, called isotopes, differ in the number of neutrons only and will react chemically in exactly the same way.
What does the symbol of isotopes of the same element look like?
Isotopes have different masses, so the superscript preceding the symbol will be different. An example could be carbon with atomic mass 12 and carbon with atomic mass 14. 12C and 14C with the 12 and 14 being superscripts, identifies the different isotopes.
