∙ 13y ago
If a sample of an element contains atoms of different mass numbers, the name of the element followed by a hyphen and the mass number is the name of an isotope of the element.

Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.
Form of an element having different atomic and number of neutrons?
Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
Two isotopes of an element have different?
Two isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but have different mass numbers (sum of protons and neutrons). This means that they will differ in the number of neutrons despite being the same element.
What isotopes of uncharded elements have different numbers?
The atomic number of the isotopes of an element is identical; the mass number is different.
Why can an atom have more then one mass number but only one atomic number?
First of all, an atom can not literally have either more than one mass number or more than one atomic number. Different atoms of the same element can have different mass numbers but the same atomic number because the atomic number is the defining characteristic of an element, but many elements have isotopes that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei and therefore different mass numbers: Mass numbers are the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.
Do isotopes of an element have the same atomic mass but different atomic number?
The different mass numbers are due to different numbers of neutrons.
What element has the atomic number for 3.14?
No element has this atomic number. All atomic numbers are whole numbers.
Form of an element having different atomic and number of neutrons?
Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
How can different atoms of the same element have the same atomic number but can have different mass numbers?
They have different numbers of neutrons.
Do some atoms have more or fewer protons than will other atoms of the same element?
No. The atomic number of an element is determined by its number of protons. If two atoms have different numbers of protons, they have different atomic numbers and are different elements.
What isotopes of uncharded elements have different numbers?
The atomic number of the isotopes of an element is identical; the mass number is different.
Two isotopes of an element have different?
Two isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but have different mass numbers (sum of protons and neutrons). This means that they will differ in the number of neutrons despite being the same element.
Which isotopes of uncharged elements have different numbers?
The isotopes of the same element has the same atomic number. But the mass number (atomic mass) is different.
Can two atoms of same element ever have different atomic numbers?
The atomic number is identical for all the isotopes of the same chemical element.
Why can an atom have more then one mass number but only one atomic number?
First of all, an atom can not literally have either more than one mass number or more than one atomic number. Different atoms of the same element can have different mass numbers but the same atomic number because the atomic number is the defining characteristic of an element, but many elements have isotopes that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei and therefore different mass numbers: Mass numbers are the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Can the atomic number of an particular element ever change?
No, the atomic number of an element can't change. Because, we can identify an element by its atomic number and atomic mass. and hence they have been arranged in the periodic table on the basis of their mass number and atomic mass so , it couldn't be changed. Every element has a fixed atomic number..
