What are the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the stable and radioactive forms?
1. The atomic number is equivalent to the number of protons in the atomic nucleus of a chemical element. The number of protons is identical for all the isotopes of an element. 2. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus of an isotope.
Which best describe isotopes?
any of two or more forms of a chemical element, having the same number of protons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number.
What is the name for these two forms of an element that differ by the number of neutrons?
Isotope.
What are allotropic changes?
Allotopes are forms of a chemical element different by structure.
What do you call the several different forms of an element having different atomic mass and number of neutrons?
We call these different "flavors" of an element the isotopes of that element.
Isotopes are forms of the same element that differ in what?
Yes, isotopes of an element are the same element but with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus and thus different atomic masses.
What is phosphorus an element or compound?
Phosphorous is an element with chemical symbol P. It has atomic number 15 and is a non-metallic element. There are two major forms, one is white and one in red.
What are the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the stable and radioactive forms?
1. The atomic number is equivalent to the number of protons in the atomic nucleus of a chemical element. The number of protons is identical for all the isotopes of an element. 2. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus of an isotope.
Which best describe isotopes?

Forms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons?
such forms of an elements are known as isotopes.
What element that can bind to form ozone has an atomic weight of 15.999?
Oxygen, atomic number 16, forms the molecule ozone (O3), mainly in the upper atmosphere. It is also produced by various chemical processes such as combustion.
What is the name for these two forms of an element that differ by the number of neutrons?
Isotope.
Why is the atomic mass an average?
Because there can be many different forms of that element. So they they find the mass of all the forms of that element and make is an average.
Is it true that the element's mass number determines how the compound will form?
No. The element's atomic number determines how it forms compounds.
Does a element forms a new compound?
Yes, all compounds are formed from chemical elements.
What are the differences in isotopes of the same elements?
Isotopes are forms of the same element that differ in Neutrons.
What element made of matter?
All chemical elements are forms of matter.
