Does group 1 element become less metallic as atomic number increases?

No; just the reverse.


Why do isotopes must have the same atomic number?

Not a question of why. It just is, isotopes have the same atomic number, (which means that they are all the same element) with different neutron numbers.


How do you get the atomic number?

The elements on the periodic table are arranged in ascending order by their atomic numbers. So just find your element on the Periodic Table and the number for that element, usually found in the top area of the box, is the atomic number. So, if you look at a periodic table, hydrogen (H) has an atomic number of 1, carbon (C) has an atomic number of 6, and nickel (Ni) has an atomic number of 28.


What element is relatively simple?

The simplest element from an atomic structure point of view is hydrogen with just one proton and one electron. Its chemistry is by no mean simple!


What information about a representative element can you get from just knowing its group number?

The number of electrons it has in the highest occupied energy level.

How do you get the atomic mass?

just copy the number of atomic number itself... of what is the name of element given.


Does the atomic number defibe an element?

An element is defined by the number of protons present in the nucleus of the atom. The atomic number just happens to correspond with the number of protons.


Has an atomic number of 7?

Could you please re-ask your question in a better manner, because that question does not make sense. Are you trying to ask the atomic mass of the element with the atomic number of 7? or are you just stating that there is an element with the atomic number of 7? because that is not a very good question.


Does the atomic no of an element change when its atom get converted into cations or anions?

no, it is still the same element just a different type


Why is zinc's atomic number 30?

yes it is just look at a periodic table......


What is the atomic mass for the element carbon is 12.011?

the atomic mass of just pure carbon would be twelve. the atomic mass is only effected by the number of protons and numbers of nuetrons


When does atomic number occur?

It doesn't occur its just the way an way they measure atoms in an element


Does group 1 element become less metallic as atomic number increases?

No; just the reverse.


Why do isotopes have the same atomic number?

Can an element have many gram atomic weights?

No, not really. An element has a single atomic weight, which is the weighted average of all the isotopes of that element, weighted by their natural abundance. Each element only has a single atomic weight.What this means is that different atoms of a single element can weigh different amounts because different isotopes have different numbers of neutrons. However, the atomic weight represents the average for all forms of that element, and so there is only one value. The different isotopes of an element certainly have different mass numbers, which is just the sum of the number of neutrons and protons however.


What is oxide atomic number?

Anything with "oxide" in the name is not an element, just a compound that contains oxygen. Only elements have atomic numbers, and that of oxygen is 8.
