An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom How does it differ from the element atom?
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?
How does the atomic number relate to the number of protons in an atom?
Atomic Mass (of an isotope) - number of protons (of an isotope) = number of neutrons (of an isotope)
How is the term atomic number defined for a given atom or isotope?
Atomic Number is the number of protons that an atom has. The atomic number is different for each element.
Term for an atom that has the same atomic number as another atom but differs in atomic weight?
This is the definition of an "isotope".
What does the number of neutrons determine?
they determine the atomic mass of the atom
What is the atomic number of a neutral atom having 6 electrons and 5 neutrons?
Atomic number is 6. The isotope is 6C11 Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons (for a neutral atom)
What is the number of neutrons in the element sulfur?
The number of neutrons in an atom depends on the isotope. The most common sulfur isotope has 16. The average number of neutrons in an atom of sulfur is about 32.065.
What is the atom's mass number of an isotope that has an atom number of 5 and includes 6 neutrons?
The Atomic Mass is, basically, the sum of the protons (the "atomic number"), and the number of neutrons.
What is the nuclear charge of an atom with an atomic mass of 35amu and atomic number of 17?
The mass number of an isotope of an element is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of each atom of the isotope. The atomic number is defined as the number of protons only in the nucleus. Therefore, an atom with an atomic number. Since neutrons have no electric charge, the nuclear charge of the specified atom is 17 amu.
How many neutrons are in meitnerium?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element The atomic number of meitnerium is 109. Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons.
How many protons does an atom of 31Sodium have?
An atom's atomic number gives its number of protons. Sodium's atomic number is 11. Thus it has 11 protons, regardless of isotope.
How many neutrons does Krytpon-82 have?
The answer to how many neutrons an atom of an isotope has is always the difference between the mass number of the isotope and the atomic number of the element. The atomic number of krypton is 36. Therefore, an atom of krypton-82 has 46 neutrons.
