What are two elments with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons called?
Two atoms with the same number of protons are not two elements but one element. If they have differing numbers of neutrons, however, they are said to be of different isotopes.
What are elements with identical number for protons and different number of neutrons called?
The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.
What atom has the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons from other atoms of the same element?
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.
What name is given to elements with the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutron?
isotopes
How are atomic numbers and mass numbers of elements arranged in the periodic table?
by ectron protons and neutrons
Can isotopes exist because atoms can have different numbers of protons?
No. Isotopes exist because atoms with the same number of protons per nucleus can have differing numbers of neutrons per nucleus.
The mass number of an elements is equal to?
the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Do isotopes of carbon have the same number of neutrons and different numbers of protons?
No, it is just the other way around!All isotopes of one particular element have the same number of protons (specific for that element) but are differing in neutron number.Example:Uranium has 92 protons (same as atomic number),butisotope U(235) has 143 neutrons and 92 protons (143+92=235)andisotope U(238) has 146 neutrons and 92 protons (146+92=238).
Isotopes of uncharged elements have different numbers of which of these?
Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons Neutrons (:
How do the numbers of protons neutrons and electrons for an element compare?
In the neutral state, all atoms of the same element contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. However, most elements have atoms with different numbers of neutrons. These are called isotopes.
What are alternate forms of elements with differing neutron numbers?
Isotopes. for example, a 35-Cl, 34-Cl, 36-Cl are all chlorines but with different neutrons, which would change their mass but not number of protons (what defines an element)
Where does the weight of the nucleus mostly come from?
The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. Most of the elements with low atomic numbers are equally protons and neutrons. However, as elements get heavier they will have more neutrons than protons, and since each weigh the same amount (1 atomic mass unit) these nuclei will get most of their weight from the neutrons.
