Do isotopes contain more electrons than other Atoms?

No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.


What does isotopes?

All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.

Does an elements composition vary?

It can if isotopes are present. They can contain different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.


Are carbon and nitrogen isotopes of each other?

No! Nuclides with different element names are never isotopes of each other, because their nuclei contain different numbers of protons and therefore are not chemically alike.


Two atoms are isotopes if they contain?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element which differ in the number of neutrons they contain. For example, helium-3 (3He), with two protons and one neutron in each nucleus, and helium-4 (4He), with two protons and two neutrons, are two different isotopes of helium. Nearly all elements found in nature are mixtures of several different isotopes. Although the chemical properties of isotopes of the same element are the same, the physical properties differ. The natural proportions of the isotopes are expressed in the form of an abundance ratio.


Are there any particles in a tomato?

Do Isotopes of uranium have different atomic numbers?

No. By definition isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (that is what makes them uranium, for example) but different numbers of neutrons (neutral particules in the nucleus which provide mass).
