Which of the two numbers in each symbol might be different for a different atom of the same element?

The mass number would be different for different isotopes of the same element.


Which statement best explains how isotopes can have different masses and still be the same element?

Two atoms which have the same no. of protons but different no. of neutrons are termed as isotopes. Since the identity of an atom depends on the no. of the protons present in its nucleus, so the two atoms are of the same element


Can you have two elements with the same atom?

Yes, two elements can have the same type of atom if they have the same number of protons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, but the same number of protons.


What is something and atom and isotope have in common?

Isotopes are different forms of the same element which have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. A given element is identified by the number of protons in its nucleus; that's its atomic number. Two different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but each has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. Different isotopes of the same element are chemically the same.


What do any two isotopes of an atom have in common?

The number of protons is the same.


Please HELP. Can you describe fully two ways in which isotopes of the same atom are similar?

Not atom, but element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons (for a neutral atom) and a different number of neutrons. The chemical properties of isotopes are generally similar, excepting the isotopes with a low atomic mass, as hydrogen. Some physical properties of the isotopes are very different: atomic mass, radio-activity, possible nuclear reactions, cross section area, etc.


What are atoms of the same element thay have different atomic masses?

Atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in variations in atomic mass while maintaining the same chemical properties.


One atom of a hypothetical element X has 27 neutrons while another has 29 this would make the two atoms of the element?

Isotopes of the same element, with different numbers of neutrons.


What are atoms of the same element that have different neutron numbers called?

Every atom of the same element is also categorized by its number of neutrons. An atom with a certain number of neutrons is an "isotope." Two atoms of the same element (same quantity of protons) can be different isotopes (different quantity of neutrons). Some isotopes are unstable, so most stable isotopes of an element are withing a range of a few numbers. For example, stable isotopes of carbon are Carbon-12 and Carbon-13.


Two atoms are isotopes if they contain?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element which differ in the number of neutrons they contain. For example, helium-3 (3He), with two protons and one neutron in each nucleus, and helium-4 (4He), with two protons and two neutrons, are two different isotopes of helium. Nearly all elements found in nature are mixtures of several different isotopes. Although the chemical properties of isotopes of the same element are the same, the physical properties differ. The natural proportions of the isotopes are expressed in the form of an abundance ratio.
