What happens to the atomic number when the nucleus releases a beta particle?
When the nucleus releases a beta minus particle the atomic number increase with 1.When the nucleus releases a beta plus particle the atomic number decrease with 1.
Which subatomic particle identifies an isotope?
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
What atomic particle determines the isotope of an element?
The number of neutrons.
What particle will be emitted probably by an isotope with an atomic number greater than 83?
An Alpha particle
Which subatomic particle identifies isotopes?
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
If the number of neutrons in an atom changes what is formed?
isotope
What is the subatomic particle os a silicon?
Silicon has 14 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a silicon isotope = Mass number - 14
What subatomic particle identifies boron?
Boron has 5 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a boron isotope = Mass number - 5
What subatomic particle are different from all isotopes of iodine?
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
What subatomic particle differs within an elements isotope?
The number of neutrons present in the atom.
Which particle is used to identify isotopes of an element?
An element alwys has the same number of electrons and protons no matter what the isotope - so the answer is the neutrons determine the isotope.
How can scientist determine whether the nucleus formed is that of new element or that of new isotope of known element?
They can tell whether the nucleus formed is that of a new element or that of an isotope by determining the number of protons inside the nucleus. If the number of protons are different, then it is a different element (not necessarily new). If the number of protons are the same, then it is an isotope.
