An atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
If the element loses/gains a proton, then the element changes, but a different number of neutrons simply changes the isotope of the element in question. For instance:
Nitrogen-14 (Atomic Mass 14, normal Nitrogen) has 7 protons, electrons, and neutrons. If we add a proton and an electron, then it changes to Oxygen-15, which is unstable, and therefore radioactive. However, if we add a neutron to our Nitrogen-14, it becomes Nitrogen-15, which just happens to be a stable isotope (and in fact makes up 0.37% of the Nitrogen in the air).
Finally, if we add a Proton/Electron and a neutron to Nitrogen-14, we get Oxygen-16, which unlike Oxygen-15, is perfectly stable (and it better be, as Oxygen-16 makes up about 99% of the Oxygen we need to survive).
Atoms with same number of protons and different number of neutrons are called isotopes. As isotopes have same no of electrons, they are chemically atoms of the same element. Ex-12C, 13C and 14C
isotopes
The atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons.
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
Neutrons and protons both are located at the atomic nucleus. Protons carry +1 charge each. Neutrons carry no charge.
no there are different elements, and you can check a periodic table for more information.
Atomic nuclei....Protons contain two up quarks and a down quark orbiting each other, and neutrons contain two down quarks and an up quark.
The atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons; protons and neutrons are formed from quarks and gluons.
Atoms which have different number of protons and neutrons but have the same molecular weight are called Isobars.
The atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons.
Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called "isotopes".
In the neutral state, all atoms of the same element contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. However, most elements have atoms with different numbers of neutrons. These are called isotopes.
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
Neutrons and protons both are located at the atomic nucleus. Protons carry +1 charge each. Neutrons carry no charge.
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.
The main constituents of the nucleus are protons and neutrons, but each of these is made up of smaller particles known as quarks.
no there are different elements, and you can check a periodic table for more information.
The centre of an atom is called the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons, which have a positive charge and neutrons which have no charge. Electrons are also subatomic particles but they go around the nucleus so they are not in the centre.
All atoms of the same element contain the same number of protons and electrons, but atoms of a given element may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. An element has many isotopes--each with a close, but different number of neutrons.
