What is the name of an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons?
Ion
How do you find the number of neutrons in a element using only mass and the element name?
Look up the name on the periodic table and subtract the atomic number from the mass number (which is protons and neutrons). That will give you the number of neutrons.
What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
What is the name number tells you the amount of protons and neutrons in an element?
Number of protons + Number of neutrons = Mass number(number of nucleons)
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
What is the name for these two forms of an element that differ by the number of neutrons?
Isotope.
What determines the different isotopes from an atom?
The name of the element and the mass number (number of protons + neutrons) it is written e.g Uranium-235 or symbolically 235U
How do you estimate the number of neutrons in the atoms of an element?
The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of any isotope of an element is equal to the "atomic mass number", which is usually stated in a number immediately after a hyphen at the end of the element name in the name of the isotope, minus the atomic number. Because most elements have more than one stable isotope, the average number of neutrons in the mixture of isotopes of an element that occurs naturally is usually not an integer.
What name is given to en element with the same number of protons but differing number on neutrons?
IsotopeIsotopes
What are atoms of the same element with different numbers neutrons called?
'ISOTOPES'. The definitive statement is ' Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons'. NB Do NOT confuse with 'Allotropes' . Allotropes of the same element exhibit different physical characteristics. The elements Sulphur and Phosphorus are the two classic examples of allotropes.
What is the name of the table that shows an element symbol and its name the number of protons and neutrons of the element?
The Periodic Table of the Elements includes most of this information (but not the number of neutrons). The Chart of the Nuclides (or Table of the Isotopes) includes all of the information.
What will be the element name of an atom with 9 potons and 10 neutrons?
The element with 9 protons and 10 neutrons is fluorine-19 (F-19).
