Atom of an element with a different number of protons?
This is not possible. The number of protons identifies an element, and all of the atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. The atoms of an element can, however, have different numbers of neutrons, and they are called isotopes.
What is the name for atoms of an element that have different masses?
An atom or element that have different masses are known as isotopes.
What Have different isotopes of the same element?
Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons and mass.
Isotopes of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
How does an element differ from its isotopes?
Isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.
What is the different of isotopes and a same element?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that are only different by the number of neutrons they have
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 are facts about isotopes of the same element?
Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons.
Is mixtures or isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons?
Atoms have isotopes: it is true, the isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.
What are different types of the same element called?
If an atom of the same element has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, then they are isotopes.
How do you know the difference between isotopes and an element?
Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of electrons.
What does the symbol of isotopes of the same element look like?
Isotopes have different masses, so the superscript preceding the symbol will be different. An example could be carbon with atomic mass 12 and carbon with atomic mass 14. 12C and 14C with the 12 and 14 being superscripts, identifies the different isotopes.
