there more than 1000 isotopes...but all these are represented by single element in the Periodic Table so thats why it is called isotope because iso mean "same" tope means"place" e.g hydrogen have 3 isotope but in periodic table only protium represents the remaining s

How many types of helium there?

"Type" is ambiguous in this context. Do you mean isotopes? Or do you mean states of matter?

Is O radioactive?

If you mean oxygen: like most elements, it has both stable isotopes, and unstable (i.e., radioactive) isotopes. 16O, 17O and 18O are stable; the unstable (radioactive) isotopes include 15O and 14O.


Idotopes of the same element have different?

if you mean isotopes then isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus so have a different atomic weight.


Are iron elements stable?

Iron is an element, and there is only one element called iron (Fe). There are no iron element(s), but if you mean isotopes, then some iron isotopes are stable, and some aren't. No known element is stable in of it's isotopes.

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


Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?

Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.


What do you think nuclear chemists mean when they say that 8 20 and 50 are magic numbers for isotopes?

It is simply that among period 2 elements, oxygen (8) is one of the elements which has the largest number of isotopes, among period 4 elements, calcium (20) has the largest number of isotopes, and among period 5 elements, tin (50) has the largest number of isotopes. In fact tin has the largest number of isotopes overall.
