Why do the isotopes of hydrogen have a greater ratio of mass difference than the ratios for any other isotopes of other elements?

The isotopes of hydrogen have a greater ratio of mass difference because hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass compared to other elements. Since the mass of hydrogen isotopes differs significantly (H-1, H-2, and H-3), the ratio of their mass difference is also relatively larger. This makes the difference in mass between hydrogen isotopes more pronounced compared to isotopes of other elements, which have higher atomic masses.


What are the stable elements of periodic table?

First, it should be noted that it is not an element that is stable or unstable, but an isotope. If you don't know the difference, please read the Wikipedia article, or some other source, about "isotopes", Most of the elements up to #82 (Pb) have stable isotopes, with the exception of #43 (Tc) and #61 (Pm). Please note that all of these "stable elements" also have unstable isotopes!


What are different atomic forms of an element?

An element can exist in different atomic forms known as isotopes, which have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. For example, carbon has isotopes like carbon-12 and carbon-14. Additionally, an element can form ions by gaining or losing electrons, resulting in charged particles with different electron configurations.


Do all elements in the same group have the same atomic mass?

No. Atoms of the same element can have different masses as the number of neutrons can vary. Atoms of the same element but with different masses are called isotopes.


What way do isotopes of an element differ?

From Intro AP Chem Knowledge OnlyThe number of neutrons in the nucleus differs, the atomic mass differs, as well as the physical properties and the nuclear stability. The chemical properties remain the same. I do not know about anything beyond that, but that much I'm certain on.I don't know about the above answer but from what I know in Chemistry is that the protons is what makes the isotopes of each element differ and the neutrons. Hope this helpsI think the first answer is correct. The protons do not make any difference. That's from AP Bio knowlege.


To determine the molar mass of an element one must know the elements what?

To determine the molar mass of an element, you must know the atomic mass of the element, which is found on the periodic table and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This value represents the average mass of all the isotopes of that element.


How man neutrons dose tin have?

Just as with any other element, tin has different isotopes, each with a different number of neutrons. Depending on the isotope, a tin atom can have between 49 and 87 neutrons. For more details, read the Wikipedia article on "isotopes of tin". If you don't know what an "isotope" is, you should read the article on "Isotopes" first.
