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).

∙ 12y agoIsotopes can either be stable or unstable. Unstable isotopes have an uneven number of protons and neutrons. Stable isotopes have the same number of protons and neutrons.

∙ 12y agoIsotopes of an element have a varying number of neutrons, and therefore have different atomic weights. They must have the same number of protons to be the same element.

Different ions of an element have different amounts of electrons.

What is the process in which one isotope changes to another isotope?
Radioactive decay is the process in which one isotope is changed into another isotope.
What is a Cosmogenic isotope?
a cosmogenic isotope is an isotope that is created in space by cosmic rays
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
an isotope of an element
What is isotope effect?
isotope effect occurs when there is a difference in the rate of reaction when an atom is replaced by an isotope.
Is oxygen-18 a common isotope?
The isotope 18O is only a minor natural isotope: 0,0201 %.
Why do scientists consider hydrogen unique?
The hydrogen isotope H-1 has only one proton and any neutron.
What isotope has 11 protons12 neutrons and 11 electrons?
The number of protons in an atom determines what that atom is called. Therefore, sodium, or Na, always has 11 protons. The particular isotope of sodium that has 12 neutrons is called 23Na, and is the only stable isotope of sodium.
Is a bottle nosed dolphin a primary producer?
Yess it is a primary producer. And they are very unique because they having an unusually high carbon isotope ratio.
Isotope A has half-life of seconds and isotope B has a half-life of millions of years which isotope is more radioactive?

What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
an isotope of an element
What is the stable isotope that is formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope?
That's called a daughter isotope, or a daughter product. (The original isotope that decayed is the parent isotope.)
244 94Pu is an of plutonium?
isotope
What is silicons most common isotope?
The most common isotope of silicon is the isotope 28Si: 92,23 %.
How is radioactive Isotope different from a stable isotope?
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
What is isotope effect?
isotope effect occurs when there is a difference in the rate of reaction when an atom is replaced by an isotope.
