Hi. Every element has a specific number of protons in its nucleus. There can be one or many neutrons in the same nucleus. The difference in mass is equal to the change in the number of neutrons.

What is the average atomic mass of an element is the average atomic masses of what kind of isotopes?
average atomic massof an element=(Atomic mass of first isotope X % of that isotope) + (Atomic mass of second isotope X % of the second isotope)
What is the atomic number of isotope?
Well all Isotopes have the same atomic number so if you have the element the atomic number of an element with that same isotope is that same atomic number.
What is the difference between the parent isotope and the daughter isotope?
The daughter isotope is the result of the radioactive disintegration of the parent isotope. For example radium is a product of the uranium disintegration.The two isotopes have different chemical (different atomic numbers, etc.), physical and nuclear properties.
What is the difference between the atomic number and atomic mass?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element, while the atomic mass is the mass of protons and neutrons of a specific isotope of a given element.
Does the atomic mass of an element depend upon the relative abundance of each isotope of the element?
Yes. The gram atomic mass of each element is the sum of the products of each stable isotope's isotopic fraction multiplied by the mass of that isotope.
What element has the atomic mass of 22?
An isotope of Neon. This isotope accounts for between a fifth and a quarter of the element.
How many neutrons calcium?
The number of neutrons is the difference between the Atomic Mass of an isotope and the atomic number of the element; each isotope of calcium has a different number of neutrons. See the link below for calcium isotopes.
How do you know the difference between isotopes and an element?
Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of electrons.
How do you find the number of neutrons an isotope has?
Neutron is the difference btw the atomic no and the mass no of an element.
What is the average atomic mass of an element is the average atomic masses of what kind of isotopes?
average atomic massof an element=(Atomic mass of first isotope X % of that isotope) + (Atomic mass of second isotope X % of the second isotope)
How many neutrons does Krytpon-82 have?
The answer to how many neutrons an atom of an isotope has is always the difference between the mass number of the isotope and the atomic number of the element. The atomic number of krypton is 36. Therefore, an atom of krypton-82 has 46 neutrons.
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom How does it differ from the element atom?
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?
What is the atomic number of isotope?
Well all Isotopes have the same atomic number so if you have the element the atomic number of an element with that same isotope is that same atomic number.
Why need to know the percentage of each isotope of an element to determine the atomic mass?
Because each isotope of an element has a mass different from any other isotope of the same element, and the atomic mass of an element is an average, weighted by the proportion of each isotope, in the naturally occurring element.
How do scienctist tell the difference between two isotope of the same element?
Isotopes of the same element are determined based off the number of neutrons the atom has which is directed related to the atomic mass of the element( the more neutrons the greater the mass of that atom). Because you can not change the number of protons in an atom without changing the element, scientist differentiate isotopes based off the atomic mass of the isotope.
What is the difference between the parent isotope and the daughter isotope?
The daughter isotope is the result of the radioactive disintegration of the parent isotope. For example radium is a product of the uranium disintegration.The two isotopes have different chemical (different atomic numbers, etc.), physical and nuclear properties.
What is the difference between the atomic number and atomic mass?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element, while the atomic mass is the mass of protons and neutrons of a specific isotope of a given element.
