Which isotopes have the same mass?
The number of protons and neutrons is what determines the mass of an isotope. Even though isotopes of a particular element have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons, which causes their mass to be different.
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What causes the change in the atomic mass of an element?
Apart from a few, almost all elements have isotopes. They are almost similar except the number of neutrons they have.
What are some of the roles of isotopes?
- Isotopes are used as sources of radiation in medicine, sterilization, nondestructive control, etc.- Isotopes can be used as tracers- Isotopes can be used as energy source- Isotopes are used for radioactive dating- Isotopes are used in chemical analysis- Isotopes are used in many instruments- Isotopes are used as source of nuclear energy in bombs and nuclear reactorsetc.
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain are known as?
they are known as isotopes. Dont ask people to do your homework
A scientist conducts a procedure that causes Nitrogen atoms to gain neutrons the resulting atoms will be A. Ions of Nitrogen B. Isotopes of Nitrogen?
Isotopes of Nitrogen gay but
Which causes maximum radioactive contamination out of there sodium radium potassium?
Radium, by a big margin. Radium has no isotopes that are not radioactive, but no naturally occurring isotopes of potassium or sodium are radioactive.
What is a similarity and a difference between isotopes of an element?
All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the atomic nucleus, which is its atomic number on the periodic table. All isotopes of an element contain different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei, which causes the isotopes of an element to vary in mass number (protons + neutrons).
What causes the masses of 3 isotopes to differ for Carbon 12 13 and 14?
Neutrone number difference

How are radioactive isotopes different from isotopes?
Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.

What is the isotopes in nobeluim?
The answer for isotopes is 259
Are most of the periodic table isotopes?
No most of them are not isotopes. Few elements exist as isotopes.

What does it mean of fusionable isotopes?
Fusionable isotopes refer to the larger isotopes that are usually relatively stable.
