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.
Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.
How are isotopes the same but different?
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.
How are the atomic mass and the atomic number different?
the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom of an element and the atomic number is the number of protons of an atom of an element.
How do the atomic number of the different isotopes an element compare?
The atomic number is the same for the all isotopes of a chemical element.
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.
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.
Can an element have many gram atomic weights?
No, not really. An element has a single atomic weight, which is the weighted average of all the isotopes of that element, weighted by their natural abundance. Each element only has a single atomic weight.What this means is that different atoms of a single element can weigh different amounts because different isotopes have different numbers of neutrons. However, the atomic weight represents the average for all forms of that element, and so there is only one value. The different isotopes of an element certainly have different mass numbers, which is just the sum of the number of neutrons and protons however.
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 are atoms of the same element thay have different atomic masses?
when you have two different forms of an atom with different masses, it's called an isotope of the atom.
Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.
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.
How are isotopes the same but different?
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 is the term for an atom of the same element that has different atomic masses?
Atomsof the same element that have different atomic massesare isotopes of one another.
How are the atomic mass and the atomic number different?
the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom of an element and the atomic number is the number of protons of an atom of an element.
How do the atomic number of the different isotopes an element compare?
The atomic number is the same for the all isotopes of a chemical element.
How many protons does the atom of element have?
IT IS DIFFERENT WITH THE ELEMENT. uSE THE ATOMIC NUMBER OF ELEMENT.
