What do isotopes' differences depend on?

Isotopes depend of the number of neutrons in the nucleus. The number of protons will always remain the same for that particular element. The number of neutrons may vary because they do not affect the charge, but rather its weight. This is why we have peculiar numbers for the average atomic mass, because some elements have different isotopes and based on how common they are will affect its average atomic mass.


Why do all isotopes of an element have the same cheimcal properties?

The chemical properties of an element depend on its electron configuration, which is in turn determined by the number of protons. Isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons, which, being neutral, have not influence on chemical properties.


What determines the different isotopes of an atom?

The isotopes of an atom are defined by the number of neutrons their nuclei have for their fixed number of protons. However, I wouldn't say that neutrons are solely responsible for the presence of isotopes because isotopes also depend on the existence of many other particles such as protons, quarks and gluons. Neutrons certainly are responsible for the way we label isotopes, though.


Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?

Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.

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.

No most of them are not isotopes. Few elements exist as isotopes.


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.


How many neutrons are in an atoms nucleus?

It would depend on which isotope of which element. Different elements and isotopes of those elements do not have the same number of neutrons. Some have none, some have many.


What is the mass of 4000 molecules of nitrogen?

Nitrogen is an element(atom), not a molecule. atomic weights are not a constant of nature and depend on the physical and chemical history of the elements. isotopes have different weights.
