Can radioactive isotopes be ions?
Probably not, no.
How many isotopes are in tin?
10 isotopes 10 isotopes
Can isotopes have positive and negative charges?
Isotopes are just the different possible nuclear weights of each element. Some are stable; some are unstable and radioactive. Since all atoms are isotopes and all isotopes are atoms, Isotopes can - and do - form ions, consequently they can have positive and negative charges.
Are atoms of the same element but with different masses are called ions?
No, atoms of the same element but with different masses are called isotopes. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net electric charge.
isotopes are the same as ions?
Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of neutrons.Ions are atoms with an electrical charge.
Ions are charged and isotopes are not true or false?
True. Isotopes are defined by the amount of neutral neutrons which have no effect on the polarity of the atom. ions are defined by a differing amount of protons and electrons, therefore charging them.
How are isotopes and ions and elements produced?
You add or remove one or more neutrons from each atom.
Compare and contrast ions with isotopes.?
Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons, giving them a positive or negative charge, while isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Ions can be formed from any element by gaining or losing electrons, whereas isotopes occur naturally and are specific to a particular element.
What instrument measures masses of ions in isotopes?
A mass spectrometer is the instrument used to measure masses of ions in isotopes. It works by ionizing the sample and then separating the ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio, providing information on the isotopic composition of an element.
What are similarities between ions and isotopes?
Ions and isotopes are both atoms of a given element with a different number of particles. While the number of protons in an element never change, the number of neutrons and electrons can. In an ion their is a different number of electrons, changing the charge, but having a negligible effect on the mass. Among isotopes the number of neutrons varies, changing the atomic mass but not the charge.
How do isotopes of nitrogen differ from nitrogen ions?
Isotopes of nitrogen have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, affecting their atomic mass. Nitrogen ions are charged particles of nitrogen that have either gained or lost electrons, making them either negatively or positively charged.
Do all isotopes of an element from the same type of ions?
Assuming the question is "do all isotopes of an element form the same type of ions" then the answer is YES.The chemistry of an element is determined by the number of protons and electrons.Isotopes of an element only differ one from another by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus, the chemistry is not affected, and they will form the same ions.An example is chlorine. The two common isotopes are 35Cl and 37Cl which are both present in nature. Both form Cl- ions.
