What make an atom an isotope?
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
How Difference atom and element?
atom and elements are different because one atom makes an element and a element is a pure substance and a atom is a basic particle
Is an atom of an element in the physical world physically altered into a different structure when incorporated into a living organism?
No, an atom of an element remains the same element with the same structure when incorporated into a living organism. It does not change into a different element, but it may participate in chemical reactions within the organism.
How are atoms and elements different?
atom and elements are different because one atom makes an element and a element is a pure substance and a atom is a basic particle
Is it true that every atom of the same element has the same atomic number?
Yes. It is true. An atom with a different atomic number is an atom of a different element.
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
When the number of protons in an atom changes, the identity of the element changes because the number of protons determines the element's atomic number. If the number of protons changes, the atom becomes a different element. This process is called nuclear fusion or fission.
Why is an oxygen atom a different element than a mercury atom?
The number of protons is different.
How are an atom an element and an isotope different from each other?
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
How many protons does the atom of element have?
IT IS DIFFERENT WITH THE ELEMENT. uSE THE ATOMIC NUMBER OF ELEMENT.
What shows the different types of atoms?
Well, an atom is an atom, it is the smallest piece of an element that still retains the element's properties, there are no different "types". There are different kinds of atoms that vary from element to element, which also means they vary in proton, neutron, and electron combinations. But there is only one type of atom.
Why is an iron atom a different element than a sodium atom?
An iron atom is a different element than a sodium atom because it has a different ground state electron configuration. In fact, any atom that differs from any other atom in ground state electron configuration is a different element.
Does an atom retain the chemical identity of an element?
An isotope is an atom that contains a different number of neutrons. In order for an element to change there has to be a different number of protons.
