Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element, having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.
They have the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.
The mass number of an isotope tells you the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of that atom. It is used to distinguish different isotopes of an element, as isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The number of protons determines the element, while the number of neutrons can vary to create different isotopes of that element.
Each chemical element has a different number of protons; the number of neutrons can be similar.
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. An example is carbon-12 and carbon-14, which both have six protons but differ in the number of neutrons they possess.
An isotope is a particle that has an unequal number of protons and neutrons. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. These variations in the number of neutrons result in different atomic masses for isotopes of the same element.
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. It represents the total number of nuclear particles (protons and neutrons) in the atom's nucleus. The number of protons in an atom determines its element, while the number of neutrons can vary to create different isotopes of the element.
It is an isotope of the element.
The number of protons an atom has depends on which element it is. Every element has a different number of protons. And within each element, there will be a different number of neutrons, creating isotopes.
