How do the numbers of protons and neutrons compare in stable atoms?
The majority of stable atoms have slightly more neutrons than protons, but the numbers are similar. The biggest exception is hydrogen, which has a stable isotope having one proton and no neutrons. Many of the lighter elements have stable isotopes in which the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same. But as the elements get heavier, we increasingly find that stable isotopes have more neutrons than protons. This is an understandable pattern. Protons, all of which have a positive charge, repel each other. It is the neutrons which act as a kind of nuclear glue, holding the nucleus together against the repulsive force that protons exert on each other. As the nucleus gets bigger, more neutrons are needed to hold it together.
What element has the same number of neutrons and protons?
Atoms having the same number of protons and neutrons make up the same element.
A carbon isotope having 6?
Protons and 8 neutrons
Isotopes of elements?
Uranium has a number of isotopes including U235 and U238, both of which are radioactive
Do isotopes have identical numbers of protons and electron?
Yes, but they have varying amounts of neutrons.
How can Atoms vary?
Atoms and elements can vary in many ways. Atoms mainly vary by having different numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrons. The count of protons makes up an elements mass number.
Atoms of the same element having different sums of protons and neutrons are called?
These atoms are called isotopes.
What element has more than 92 protons?
The number of protons that an element has defines what that element is, regardless of the number of neutrons it has. Therefore, the chemical element having 82 protons, which is lead, or Pb, can take many different forms. In fact, there are 38 different known isotopes of lead, ranging from having 96 neutrons to having 133 neutrons. Despite that, they are all still called lead.
What has 22 protons and 21 neutrons?
Titanium is the element having 22 protons and 21 neutrons. Its symbol is Ti.
How an elements is classified as transuranium elements?
Elements having more than 92 protons, the atomic number of uranium, are called transuranium elements.

What element has the same number of neutrons and protons?
Atoms having the same number of protons and neutrons make up the same element.
How is the mass number determine?
the mass number is determined on the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.
The central part of an atom is called the?
The atom is made up of the nucleus (neutrons and protons) and electrons.
A carbon isotope having 6?
Protons and 8 neutrons
Isotopes of elements?
Uranium has a number of isotopes including U235 and U238, both of which are radioactive
Do isotopes have identical numbers of protons and electron?
