Does an atom retain the chemical identity of an element?

An isotope is an atom that contains a different number of neutrons. In order for an element to change there has to be a different number of protons.

What are atoms that have the same element but different neutrons?

IsotopesThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element. The number of neutrons can vary. If two atoms of the same element have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei, they are isotopes of that element.


Can isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?

Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.

What substance is in the nucleus?

An atomic nucleus contains a number of neutrons and protons, the number of which varies depending on the element. The simplest atom being hydrogen contains one of each, oxygen contains 8 of each, californium contains 153 neutrons and 98 protons.

How is the nucleus related to the periodic table?

The nucleus contains the protons and neutrons. The number of protons determines the atomic number of the element and the number of protons and the number of neutrons together determine the atomic mass.


What is the mass number of an atom with 11 protons 11 electrons 12 neutrons?

Sodium is a metal element. Mass number of it is 23.


What is the sum of protons and neutrons in the neucleus of an atom?

Its mass number (largest number written near an element in the periodic table)


Can you tell from the periodic table how many neutrons are in an atom?

No. Atoms on the Periodic Table are listed by element in order of atomic number, which is the number of protons an atom contains. The number of neutrons in the atoms of an element usually varies among several isotopes.


How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 25?

The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom varies for each isotope of the element. Atomic number 25 means the atom contains 25 Protons, and it is the element Manganese (Mn). Manganese has 4 isotopes 52Mn, 53Mn, 54Mn & 55Mn. Take the number of protons (always 25 with Mn) from the isotope number and you will have the number of Neutrons in the nucleus. eg 55Mn will have 30 Neutrons.


What are the element number of neutrons?

Number of Neutrons = Mass number - Number of Protons


What contains the element polonium?

Polonium contain 84 protons an electrons and a variable number of neutrons, depending on the isotope.

What element has a mass number of 56 with 36 neutrons?

A mass number is the sum of numbers of protons and neutrons in an atom. Therefore, an element with a mass number of 65 and 36 neutrons contains (65 - 36) or 29 protons and is therefore an atom of copper.
