Atom of an element that differs in the number of nuetrons compared with other atoms of the same element?
Is called an Isotope.
Is it possible for atoms of the same element to have different chemical properties?
Atoms of the same element differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei. All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons, of course. The number of protons in a nucleus determines which element the atom is. But the number of neutrons can vary, and these different "versions" of a given element are called isotopes of that element. See the related question, which is linked below.
Element are made of atoms?
Yes, an element is made of millions of atoms with the same number of protons and electrons, but some atoms will have a slightly different number of neutrons. These different atoms are called isotopes.
How have scientists arranged varios atoms?
by number of protons and nuetrons
In what way are atoms of one element different from atoms of other elements?
The number of electrons and neutrons may differ for atoms of the same element. However, what distinguishes atoms of one element from those of a different element is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. All of the atoms of an element have the same number of protons, which is the single most important determiner of the properties of an element.
Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of nuetrons?
quark

An element is determined by the number of?
An element can be identified by the number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms.
What is the name of the atoms that have the same number of protons and different number of nuetrons?
They are called isotopes.
Atoms with the same element and number of protons but a different number of nuetrons.?
Ions, of the element corresponding to the number of protons, with different charge numbers, or possibly a neutral atom and at least one ion of the same element.
What sets an atom of one element apart from atoms of all other element?
It has a different amount of protons, nuetrons and electrons than any other element's atom.
If 2 atoms have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons will they have the same atomic number?
Yes. The only difference is the atomic mass. They are the same element, therefore the same Atomic Number (represented as 'Z') The reason for the different amount of nuetrons is because of isotopes or radiation of that specific element.
What is the relationship between mass number and atomic numbers?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of an element. Each element has a unique atomic number. Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nuclei of the atoms of a specific isotope of an element.
What sets an atom of one element apart from the atoms of all other elements?
It has a different amount of protons, nuetrons and electrons than any other element's atom.
What sets an atom of one element apart from the atoms of all the other elements?
It has a different amount of protons, nuetrons and electrons than any other element's atom.
What element is composed of atoms that all have the same atomic number?
All elements are composed of atoms that all have the same atomic number. If the atomic number is different then you have a different element. The number of neutrons can be different and you will have a different isotope of that element with a different mass. An example of an element that only has one isotope is fluorine.
Is it possible for atoms of the same element to have different chemical properties?
Atoms of the same element differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei. All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons, of course. The number of protons in a nucleus determines which element the atom is. But the number of neutrons can vary, and these different "versions" of a given element are called isotopes of that element.
