In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Isotopes of the same element also have the same number of electrons and the electronic structure.

Which is not true all isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons?

All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.


How do the atomic number of the different isotopes an element compare?

The atomic number is the same for the all isotopes of a chemical element.


Why isotopes of an element show identical chemical properties?

The number of electrons in isotopes is identical.


Compare and contrast ions with isotopes.?

Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons, giving them a positive or negative charge, while isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Ions can be formed from any element by gaining or losing electrons, whereas isotopes occur naturally and are specific to a particular element.


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.


Would isotopes of the same element have the same number of electrons?

Yea because isotopes only differ in their # of neutrons, not electrons


How much do isotopes that share an element differ in the number?

Isotopes have a different number of neutrons but the number of protons and electrons is the same.


Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of electrons?

Isotopes have the same number of protons an electrons; the number of neutrons is different.


Isotopes have the same element but different?

Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.


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).


How do the numbers of protons neutrons and electrons for an element compare?

In the neutral state, all atoms of the same element contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. However, most elements have atoms with different numbers of neutrons. These are called isotopes.


Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of?

protons and electrons
