isotopes
No, the isotopes of a single element differ in the no. of neutrons
Because of isotopes
No. Atoms differ in number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
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.
Isotopes are elements that differ in the number of neutrons they have. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in their nuclei but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in varying atomic weights.
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.
number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
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.
Isotopes.
Atoms of different elements differ in their number of protons, which determines the element's identity. Each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, leading to distinct chemical properties. Differences in the number of neutrons and electrons can result in isotopes and ions of the same element.
