What isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of?

Isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of neutrons.


What happens where two elements have the same atomic number?

When two elements have the same atomic number, it means they are isotopes of each other. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. This results in subtle differences in their atomic mass and stability.


Isotopes of elements?

Isotopes of elements are atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This causes isotopes of the same element to have different atomic masses. Isotopes can be stable or unstable, with unstable isotopes undergoing radioactive decay.


Why the mass number of the same atom of an element is not constant?

Since you have isotopes of elements. Isotopes are elements with different number of neutrons hence why the different atomic masses for the same elements.


What is the same about isotopes of the same elements?

The isotopes of the same element have an identical number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.


Isotopes of the same elements differ in number of?

Neutrons


Isotopes of the same elements differ in their number of?

neutrons


Where can isotopes be found?

elements are isotopes, when different atoms of the same element have different number of neutrons


How many chemical properties does isotopes have?

All the isotopes of a chemical element are identical; some differences exist for light elements (ex. H or D).


What are elements with identical number for protons and different number of neutrons called?

The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.


Why do all isotopes of an element have the same compound?

All isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties and can form the same compounds because they have the same number of protons and electrons. This means they share the same electronic configuration, which governs how atoms interact and bond with other elements. The differences in neutron numbers among isotopes affect the atomic mass but do not significantly alter their chemical behavior. Therefore, isotopes of an element can participate in identical chemical reactions and form the same compounds.
