What is an element that has the same atomic number but different mass numbers?
If a sample of an element contains atoms of different mass numbers, the name of the element followed by a hyphen and the mass number is the name of an isotope of the element.
Name each element in glucose and state how many atoms of each element there are?
C6H12O6. Six carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms.
What type of molecules are formed when atoms of different elements combine?
A combination of two atoms of different elements results in a molecule. A combination of two atoms of the same exact element results in two atoms of the same element stuck together, not a molecule. There is no name for this that I know of. --------- 1. Two oxygen atoms: a molecule of oxygen - O2. Many gases has diatomic molecules. Ozone has three oxygen atoms in molecule. 2. Allotropes can be formed from many atoms: allotropes of carbon, sulfur, phosphorus.
What is the name given to pairs of atoms such as protium and deuterium?
Those are different isotopes of the same element. Different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. There are a little over 100 known elements, but over 3000 different known isotopes.
What are atoms of the same element with different numbers neutrons called?
'ISOTOPES'. The definitive statement is ' Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons'. NB Do NOT confuse with 'Allotropes' . Allotropes of the same element exhibit different physical characteristics. The elements Sulphur and Phosphorus are the two classic examples of allotropes.
What is the name for atoms of an element having different masses?
Isotopes =)
What is an element that has the same atomic number but different mass numbers?
If a sample of an element contains atoms of different mass numbers, the name of the element followed by a hyphen and the mass number is the name of an isotope of the element.
What is the name for different forms of the same element?
ALLOTROPES are forms of an element where the atoms are arranged in different shapes and so they have different properties. The allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite and buckyballs. Phosphorus has several allotropes (including white phosphorus and red phosphorus). Sulphur also has several allotropes. An alternative answer to the question is different atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses are called ISOTOPES.
What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
What is the name of protons in the atoms of an element?
Protons are protons, no matter what element they are in.
What is the number of atoms of each element?
each element has one atom of the element's name
Name each element in glucose and state how many atoms of each element there are?
C6H12O6. Six carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms.
What is the name of the Element that has atoms and contains 82 protons?
the name of the element is ,Lead. ;)
What type of molecules are formed when atoms of different elements combine?
A combination of two atoms of different elements results in a molecule. A combination of two atoms of the same exact element results in two atoms of the same element stuck together, not a molecule.

Allotropes can be formed from many atoms: allotropes of carbon, sulfur, phosphorus.
What is the name of the element that has atoms that contain 5 protons?
Boron
What is the name of atoms the same chemical element that have different atomic mass?
In that case, you would say that the atom has different isotopes.The difference in mass is due to a difference in the amount of neutrons.
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
