They have the same number of protons and electrons, but they (only) differ in the number of neutrons (and so they differ in atomic massaccordingly)

What is the lightest element on the periodic table with no stable isotopes?

The lightest element on the periodic table with no stable isotopes is hydrogen. It only has one proton in its nucleus and no stable isotopes.


What property of an element cannot be predicted from its position in the periodic table?

The exact atomic mass of an element cannot be predicted solely based on its position in the periodic table and can vary due to the presence of isotopes.


5. How do isotopes differ from one another and from the element atoms on the periodic table?

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in variations in atomic mass for isotopes. The element atoms on the periodic table represent the average mass of all its naturally occurring isotopes.


What is the average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of a particular element?

The average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of a particular element are an element's atomic Mass.


How will the modern periodic table be disturbed if isotopes of an element are discovered now?

The periodic table would be disturbed only if isotopes of a new element are discovered, because a periodic table is based on order of atomic number, not atomic mass. If new isotopes of a previously known element were discovered, the atomic mass shown in the periodic table might be changed, but this is very unlikely because the atomic masses shown in a periodic table are based on the naturally occurring distribution of isotopes, and any newly discovered isotopes would probably occur only in very small fractions of the total.


How are isotopes placed in the periodic table?

Isotopes and their prevalence are not shown on the periodic table. Instead, the atomic weight shown for each element is an average of the atomic weights of all naturally-occurring isotopes (calculated from percentages occurring on Earth).


Where are the isotopes of the same elements having different atomic masses placed in the periodic table?

Isotopes of the same element with different atomic masses are placed in the same position on the periodic table because they have the same number of protons and electrons. The atomic number, which determines an element's position on the periodic table, is the same for all isotopes of an element.


What is the position of isotopes in the modern periodic table?

Isotopes are not specifically located in the modern periodic table because they have the same number of protons (same element) but different numbers of neutrons. However, isotopes of an element share similar chemical properties due to their identical electronic configurations.


Why are isotopes not found on different sections of the periodic table?

Isotopes are not found on different sections of the periodic table because isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons as the element they correspond to, so they are placed in the same position on the table based on their atomic number. The different isotopes of an element have a different number of neutrons, which affects their atomic mass but not their position on the periodic table.


What structure feature is different in isotopes of a particular element?

Electrons


What do different isotopes of a particular element contain the different number of?

Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.


What Is the weighted average of all of the isotopes of an element.?

The answer is the atomic weight of the original element: It's the number on the top left of each element square of the Periodic Table.
