Subatomic particles are protons, neutrons and electrons.


What is the isotopes in the subatomic particles?

The number of neutrons is different for isotopes.


Are isotopes a type of subatomic particle?

Isotopes are atoms, not subatomic particles.


What subatomic particles are in an isotope of zirconium?

All the isotopes of chemical elements contain protons, neutrons and electrons.


How do isotopes of the same element differ with regards to subatomic particles?

Same number of protons; different number of neutrons. The number of electrons will also be the same, assuming a neutral atom.


Can isotopes have the same number of subatomic particles?

An isotope is defined as: Each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element So basically, an isotope is from the same place (element) and has the same number of protons, but the number of electrons differ. So isotopes are not subatomic; the protons and electrons that make an isotope are subatomic.


How do you calculate subatomic particles in isotopes?

mass #= # of protons + # of neutrons


What are the negative particles of isotopes called?

These particles are electrons.


What subatomic particle contributes alomst no weight to an atom?

The subatomic particles that contribute most almost no weight to an atom are electrons at various energy levels. Isotopes of the same element differ from each other only by the number of neutrons.


What subatomic particles can differ between neutral atoms of the same element?

The subatomic particle that makes atoms of different elements different from each other is the proton. This is given as the atomic number of the element on the periodic table.


List the subatomic particles and isotope symbol for bromine ASAP?

All atoms of chemical elements contain protons, neutrons (excepting the isotope H-1)and electrons. The natural isotopes of bromine are 79Br and 81Br. For the list of all isotopes see the link below.


What subatomic particles contribute to the mass of?

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons found in each atom of that element (electrons do not contribute). They are sometimes seen on periodic tables to have a decimal in the atomic number, this is for elements with more than one common isotope (an isotope of an element is the same number of protons but with a different number of neutrons), in which case an average of the common isotopes can be used.
