What are atoms that have the same element but different neutrons?
IsotopesThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element. The number of neutrons can vary. If two atoms of the same element have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei, they are isotopes of that element.
Can isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.
What element has the same number of neutrons and protons?
Atoms having the same number of protons and neutrons make up the same element.
Can you identify an atom without number of neutrons in it?
Every element has a specific number of protons, which is how an element is identified. That gives its atomic number. The number of neutrons can vary, and therefore is not useful in identifying an element.
What is the number of neutrons in the element radium?
What do we call it when neutrons are added to an element?
This is a (n,γ) nuclear reaction (neutron-gamma).
What are the element number of neutrons?
Number of Neutrons = Mass number - Number of Protons
Isotopes of an element have a different number of?
neutrons

Finding the number of neutrons in an element?
Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons
Can isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.
What subatomic particles can differ between neutral atoms of the same element?
The subatomic particle that makes atoms of different elements different from each other is the proton. This is given as the atomic number of the element on the periodic table.
Does all the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
No, the number of neutrons vary, but protons and electrons are static among an element.
What is the sum of protons and neutrons known as an element?
Sum of protons and neutrons is the Mass number of the element. The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Neutrons and protons are sub atomic particles.
The mass number of an atom indicates the number of what?
The mass number is the sum of protons + neutrons.
What equation do you use to find the number of neutrons in an element?
Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons
Does the number of neutrons tell what element it is?
no
