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
Which part of an atom determines how it will react with other atoms?
valence electrons
Which main part of an atom determines the atomic number of an element?
The number of protons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom.
Is isotope often termed as an atom's outer shell?
No, never. An isotope has to do with the nucleus of the atom.
What part of an atom do you measure in carbon dating?
The beta radiation of the isotope carbon-14 is measured.
What subatomic particle determines whether an atom exists as an isotope?
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.
What subatomic particle determines if an element is an isotope or not?
The neutron; the proton determines the element of the atom, but different atoms of the same element can have different atomic masses, due to the different number of neutrons of the atoms. Atoms of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called Isotopes. Thus, neutron determines the isotope of an atom.
What does the number of neutrons determine?
they determine the atomic mass of the atom
Is xenon an isotope ion or neutral atom?
It is an isotope of a neutral atom.
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
Which part of an atom determines how it will react with other atoms?
valence electrons
Which main part of an atom determines the atomic number of an element?
The number of protons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom.
Can an isotope be a neutral atom?
Yes, they usually are; being an isotope does not change the chemistry of the atom.
Is isotope often termed as an atom's outer shell?
No, never. An isotope has to do with the nucleus of the atom.
What is a sentence with a isotope?
Isotopes are very important part of calculations in chemistry. They are different elements of same atomic number.
Which part of an atom determines chemical properties?
The number of electrons is very important.
