What isotope defines the atomic mass unit?
Carbon 12.
What is the process in which one isotope changes to another isotope?
Radioactive decay is the process in which one isotope is changed into another isotope.
What is a Cosmogenic isotope?
a cosmogenic isotope is an isotope that is created in space by cosmic rays
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
an isotope of an element
What is isotope effect?
isotope effect occurs when there is a difference in the rate of reaction when an atom is replaced by an isotope.
What isotope defines the atomic mass unit?
Carbon 12.
What defines the mass number of isotope?
The mass number is the total weight of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom.
What configuration defines an isotope of the same element?
Isotopes of one particular element differ only in their number of neutrons in nucleus.
Where are the protonselectronsand neutrons in the atom?
Protons have a positive charge Neutrons have no charge Electrons have a negative charge Protons and Neutrons are found in the nuclei of atoms, while Electrons orbit in layers. Neutrons separate the Protons so that they never touch each other. The number of Protons defines which element you have The number of neutrons defines the isotope you have The number of Electrons defines the charged ion you have
What are elements with identical number for protons and different number of neutrons called?
The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.
How many protons are in the nucleus of Iodine-131?
The atomic number of iodine is 53 so there are 53 protons in the nucleus, irrespective of which isotope you are considering. 53 is the atomic number and defines iodine.
What element has 46 protons and 55 neutrons?
The number of protons defines an element - the number of neutrons isn't needed to find the identity of the element. All ions and isotopes with 44 protons is ruthenium. However, with the information about the neutrons, we know the specific isotope: 101Ru.
Isotope A has half-life of seconds and isotope B has a half-life of millions of years which isotope is more radioactive?
Isotope A
What is the process in which one isotope changes to another isotope?
Radioactive decay is the process in which one isotope is changed into another isotope.
What is a Cosmogenic isotope?
a cosmogenic isotope is an isotope that is created in space by cosmic rays
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
an isotope of an element
What is the stable isotope that is formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope?
That's called a daughter isotope, or a daughter product. (The original isotope that decayed is the parent isotope.)
