How do you know the difference between isotopes and an element?

Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of electrons.


A scientist conducts a procedure that causes Nitrogen atoms to gain neutrons the resulting atoms will be A. Ions of Nitrogen B. Isotopes of Nitrogen?

B. Isotopes of Nitrogen. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. In this case, the resulting atoms will be isotopes of nitrogen because they have gained neutrons.


What is isotope and show us List of atoms having isotopes.?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Some examples of atoms with isotopes are hydrogen (protium, deuterium, tritium), carbon (carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14), and uranium (uranium-235, uranium-238).


isotopes are the same as ions?

Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of neutrons.Ions are atoms with an electrical charge.

What is the name for atoms of an element that have different masses?

An atom or element that have different masses are known as isotopes.


Where do the neutrons come from to have an element be considered an isotope?

# Elements are not isotopes, atoms are isotopes of an element. # There are no atoms that are not isotopes, so it's not a matter of being "considered" an isotope or not. # It doesn't matter where the neutrons come from, whatever that means. All atoms are isotopes of some element or other.


What are Atoms that vary in the number of neutrons found in their nuclei called?

Atoms that vary in the number of neutrons found in their nuclei are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, which can lead to variations in their atomic mass.


Can isotopes have positive and negative charges?

Isotopes are just the different possible nuclear weights of each element. Some are stable; some are unstable and radioactive. Since all atoms are isotopes and all isotopes are atoms, Isotopes can - and do - form ions, consequently they can have positive and negative charges.


Do neon atoms have common isotopes?
