Two or more forms of the same chemical element that differ in atomic mass?
They're called isotopes. The number of neutrons varies, but the chemistry stays the same.
What do you call the several different forms of an element having different atomic mass and number of neutrons?
We call these different "flavors" of an element the isotopes of that element.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have?
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons and electrons. They have the same atomic number on the periodic table but they have a different number of neutrons and so they have different mass. Isotopes of the same element can have different chemical properties.
How are isotopes the same but different?
Isotopes are different forms of the same element which have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. A given element is identified by the number of protons in its nucleus; that's its atomic number. Two different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but each has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. Different isotopes of the same element are chemically the same.
Different forms of the same element?
Allotropes-different forms of the same element ex. diamond and graphite for carbon different arrangement of the atoms Actually it is diamond, charcoal, and GRAPHITE... Not carbon
Forms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons?
such forms of an elements are known as isotopes.
Isotopes are forms of the same element that differ in what?
Yes, isotopes of an element are the same element but with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus and thus different atomic masses.
What are the differences in isotopes of the same elements?
Isotopes are forms of the same element that differ in Neutrons.
Carbon 12 and carbon 13 are different in the number of what?
Neutrons. The number of protons is ALWAYS the same for the same element. Different forms of the same element, called isotopes, differ in the number of neutrons only and will react chemically in exactly the same way.
What are the different forms called in a element that has forms with different number of neutrons?
Isotopes
What are the difference forms called in an element that has forms with different number of neutrons?
Isotopes.
What are different forms called in an an element that has forms with different number of neutrons?
Isotopes.
What are the different forms called in an element that has forms the different number of neutrons?
Isotopes.
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of protons?
An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).

What are different forms called in an element that has different number in neutrons?
These atoms are called isotopes.
