An element that differs only in the number of neutrons is?
Atoms of the same element with varying numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
Isotopes of any element have a different number of?
isotopes have varying amounts of electrons ^ The above is wrong. Isotopes of an element vary in the amounts of neutrons within the nucleus only.
Atoms have a set number of what in each element?
The number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms, which is its atomic number, defines each element. However, the nuclei of a given element may have varying numbers of neutrons.
What atom of an element with a different number of neutrons?
Isotopes.
An element with a number of neutrons different from its normal number is called a what?
It is called an isotope.
Are all atoms the same?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with varying number of neutrons. Thus, not all atoms are the same.
If there was an atom of this element that has 18 neutrons would it still be the same element?
Yes. Atoms with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that atom, but a variation in the number of neutrons does not change what the atom is.
What is an atom of an element that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons called?
It is called an isotope.
What is the number of protons and neutrons called?
The number protons in an atom is called the atomic number (it is this number that tells us which element the atom is). The number of neutrons in an atom can change, but the term for the amount of neutrons is called an isotope. The number of protons and neutrons added together is called the atomic mass.
What are atoms of an element that have the same number of protons as other atoms of that element but a different number of neutrons called?
They are called isotopes,
What is unique about an isotope?
Isotopes of an element differ from each other by having different numbers of neutrons. For example: 1H (hydrogen), 2H (deuterium), 3H (tritium) are isotopes. They have the same number of protons (1) but different numbers of neutrons (0, 1, and 2 respectively).
How many electron are in this element 193Pt?
An estimated 117 neutrons. This can vary as platinum has different isotopes of different mass thus resulting in varying number of neutrons.
