Do all the atoms of a particular elements have the same number of neutrons?
No, the isotopes of a single element differ in the no. of neutrons
Why do nuclei of some atoms of the same elements differ in their number of neutrons?
Because of isotopes
Do all elements of the periodic table have the same type of atoms?
No. Atoms differ in number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Atoms of the same elements that differ only in the number of neutrons are known as?
Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. An isotope is known by its mass number, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
Do atoms have neutrons in them?
Atoms of all elements can have neutrons in them. Only the element hydrogen has an isotope whose atoms do not contain neutrons, but all other isotopes of hydrogen have neutrons in them. In the heavier elements the number of neutrons always exceeds the number of protons in the atom.
How do you find the number of neutrons in an elements atoms?
number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
Atoms that have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons is what?
Isotopes.
What isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of?
Isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of neutrons.
In what way are atoms of one element different from atoms of other elements?
The number of electrons and neutrons may differ for atoms of the same element. However, what distinguishes atoms of one element from those of a different element is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. All of the atoms of an element have the same number of protons, which is the single most important determiner of the properties of an element.
Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons?
isotopes
What are atoms that only differ from the number of neutrons in their nuclei?
isotopes
