What Atomic particle controls its reactivity?

The number of protons in the nucleus will ALWAYS be the same for a specific element.(ex: Hydrogen always has EXACTLY 1 proton)But, the number of electons and neutrons can vary in a particular element.


What are all elements are mixtures of?

An element is composed of atoms all with the same proton number(they are the same type). The only way the atoms in an element can vary is in the number of neutrons they have.


Atoms of the same atomic are called what?

isotopes Atoms of the same element are called Isotopes. they have the same number of atoms (i.e. same atomic number) but different number of neutrons

Are isotapes atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons?

atoms had gained or lost one or more electron are called ions. so no. the number of neutron and proton don't change. unless it was isotope you are talking about. they have the same atomic number but different atomic mass, which means different number of neutron.


All atoms of an element have the same number of neutrons?

Wrong! For example we take on hydrogen atom which has 1 proton in his nucleus and one electron 'gravitating'(gravitating is not an appropriate word because of the quantum origin of all elementary particles, as they can be expressed both either parcitle if they are observed, or a wave) In nature there is a "heavy" atom of hydrogen which is called deuterium. It has 1 proton and 1 neutron in its nucleus. There are 3 types of hydrogen atoms known. The pattern is the same for almost all elements.


What are atoms of the same element but have different sums of protons and neutrons?

The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.


Have scientists ever found elements with same number of protons?

Well, when two elements have the same number of protons, they are atoms of the same element. Each element has its unique proton number. If an atom has 1 atom, it is called Hydrogen. If it has 2, it is called Helium. If it has 20, it is called Calcium. However, the number of neutrons may differ. For example, in the case of Hydrogen, it may have no neutron, 1 neutron or 2 neutrons, and still be called Hydrogen. However, they are called 'isotopes', meaning members of the same element(same number of proton), but having different neutron numbers.
