An element is defined by the number of protons in the nucleus; for example, carbon always has 6 protons. Elements can also have different numbers of neutrons in the atomic nucleus, and each number of neutrons gives you a different isotope. So, there is the isotope called carbon 12, with 6 neutrons (12 nuclear particles in total) and there is also the isotope called carbon 14, with 8 neutrons (14 nuclear particles in total). Every element has a number of isotopes.
What else can I help you with?
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
An element with a number of neutrons different from its normal number is called a what?
It is called an isotope.
What are different forms of a single element?
Isotope.
Why need to know the percentage of each isotope of an element to determine the atomic mass?
Because each isotope of an element has a mass different from any other isotope of the same element, and the atomic mass of an element is an average, weighted by the proportion of each isotope, in the naturally occurring element.
How can the researcher change one isotope into a different isotope of the same element?
By striking it with neutrons.
What is an isotope?
An isotope is an element with the same number of electrons and protons different number of neutrons.
What is the name of an element that has different a number of neutrons?
Isotope.
Atom of an element with different number of neutrons?
Isotope
What is an a isotope?
Isotopes are different kinds of the same element.
What is an atomic element that has a different number of protons than neutrons?
It is an isotope of the element.
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.
What is a antonym for isotope?
The antonym for isotope is non-isotope. An isotope refers to atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, whereas non-isotope would refer to atoms of the same element having the same number of neutrons.
