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.


The process is which each split atom gives up neutrons which in turn split other atoms and so on is called?

This is a nuclear fission chain reaction. An atom of fissile material spontaneously splits (fissions), and neutrons released in this fission event initiate other fission events. Still more neutrons are released, and they cause more fissions, and a chair reaction is under way.a nuclear reactionit is called a chain reaction.chain reaction


The process in which each split atom gives up neutrons?

The act of an atom splitting is called nuclear fission. In nuclear fission where we see neutrons emerge with fission fragments, and we then see those neutrons initiate other fission reactions is called a nuclear fission chain reaction.


How many neutrons are in hydrogen peroxide?

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) consists of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. The atomic number of oxygen is 8, meaning each oxygen atom has 8 protons and typically 8 neutrons. This gives us a total of 16 neutrons for both oxygen atoms. Hydrogen does not have any neutrons. So, hydrogen peroxide has a total of 16 neutrons.


What atomic particle that determines a specific isotope?

Atoms are electrically neutral. The number electrons and number of protons in neutral atoms are same. The number of neutrons in some atoms are same as the number of protons. Example: Calcium atom contains 20 protons and 20 neutrons. But some atoms contain same number of protons but different number of neutrons. For example carbon atoms exist in three forms - all contain 6 protons but some contain 6 neutrons, some 7 neutrons and others with 8 neutrons. These type of atoms are known as isotopes Definition of isotope: Atoms with same number of protons but different number of neutrons It shows that the different number of neutrons determines the existence of isotopes.

What gives a star its light?

A star gives off light through a process called nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms in its core combine to form helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat.
