What else can I help you with?
Why is the atomic mass of an atom the average atomic mass?
It allows for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
State the difference between an ordinary atom and its isotope?
Isotopes: atoms with the same atomic number (also identical number of protons and electrons) but with a different number of neutrons and consequently with a different atomic mass.An isotope is an atom; the atom has not isotopes but an element has isotopes (natural or artificial).
Different isotopes have different what?
The isotopes of an element must have a different amount of neutrons. I'm pretty sure you know what these are, but just in case: A neutron is a sub-atomic part of an atom, together with protons and electrons.
What do you call an atom of the same element that has a different numder of neutrons?
Isotopes of elements have different atomic mass'.
What is the Different versions of an atom that have the same number of protons but a different number atomic masses are called?
hitorilons and magnydons I think you are taking about isotopes.
What is the term for an atom of the same element that has different atomic masses?
Atomsof the same element that have different atomic massesare isotopes of one another.
Do Isotopes of uranium have different atomic numbers?
No. By definition isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (that is what makes them uranium, for example) but different numbers of neutrons (neutral particules in the nucleus which provide mass).
Is the atomic mass of an element equaled to the mass of an average atom?
The atomic weight is taken as the average weight or mass of the different isotopes of the Same atom That exists in the different %age in our enviromenT
Which sub atomic particles cause isotopes to appear?
Isotopes are caused by variations in the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Neutrons are subatomic particles that do not carry an electric charge and contribute to an atom's mass. The different number of neutrons in isotopes result in variations in atomic mass.
How do the isotopes of an atom differ?
Isotopes of an atom have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This causes isotopes to have different atomic masses. The chemical properties of isotopes are usually identical, but physical properties such as nuclear stability and radioactive decay can vary.
What is the atom with same atomic number but different mass number?
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
Why the mass number of the same atom of an element is not constant?
Since you have isotopes of elements. Isotopes are elements with different number of neutrons hence why the different atomic masses for the same elements.
