What else can I help you with?
What has a different mass number than the normal atom?
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
Can an atom of two different elements have the same mass number?
Yes. The mass number is basic to the different elements, even more useful than the atomic number. (Unless it is an isotope. Isotopes have a different amount of neutrons than the basic element atom which makes a difference in mass number too. So, a difference in mass numbers doesn't always mean it is a different element.)
Identical atomic number but different mass?
I'm assuming you ask about the situation when isotopes has the same atomic number but different masses; this is normal because the number of neutrons in the isotopes of the same element is variable. But the number of protons (identical to atomic number) remain constant.
How is isotope and mass number related?
2 isotopes of the same element will have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The sum of protons and neutrons is the mass number, so different isotopes will have different mass numbers.
Do isotopes of the same element differ in mass number?
isotopes just mean they have a different number of neutrons so if the..Mass number = # of protons + # of neutrons -they will have a different (greater) mass
Do both isotopes have the same mass number?
An Isotope of an element is an atom that has the same number of protons, (number of protons is the defining feature of an element) but different number of neutrons.Because The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, different isotopes have different mass numbers.
Why atomic mass is different from the mass numbers?
atomic mass is the number of protons in an atom mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom
What does a mass number determine?
mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons DIFFERENT FROM ATOMIC MASS atomic mass = weighted average of all the isotopes of that element
Is atomic mass and mass of an atom different?
No, they are not different. The atomic mass number is the average of the total number of the protons and neutrons in the atom of the existing isotopes of an element. That's why the atomic mass number is sometimes not a whole number but a decimal number as in oxygen being 15.999. FYI isotopes are different atoms of the same element that contain the same number of protons but have a different number of neutrons.
Does calcium have different mass number's?
no
What is the atom with same atomic number but different mass number?
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
What is different about each isotope of h?
they have different mass number and number of neutrons protium consists of mass number 1 and have one neutron deutrium consists of mass number 2 and have two neutrons tirtium consists of 3 neutrons and have mass number 3 the difference in mass number is due to difference in neutrons.
