Proton Number
All atoms with the same number of protons are atoms of the same element. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
Atoms of the same element are alike in terms of their number of protons, which determines the element. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain, leading to different isotopes of that element.
Yes, all atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons.
To determine which atoms in a table are of the same element, you would look for atoms that have the same atomic number, as this identifies the element. Atoms of the same element will also have the same number of protons in their nucleus. If isotopes of an element are present, they will have the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to varying numbers of neutrons.
The identity of every element is given by the number of protons in the nucleus. To keep electrical neutrality, they also have the same number of electrons.See the Related Questions for more information about protons, neutrons, and electrons in atoms.
Atoms of the same Element have this.
same number of each element
No. Each type of atom (element) has its own unique number of protons, which is called the atomic number. Atoms of the same element will always have the same atomic number (number of protons). Atoms of different elements will never have the same atomic number (number of protons).
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which is its atomic number. A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons.
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element, having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
Atoms with the same atomic number are all atoms of the same element. However, if the atoms have different molecular weights, they are isotopes of the same element.
