When the number of neutrons changes, the result is the formation of an ISOTOPE of that same element.
NO,each isotope has different number of neutrons why that? in isotopes the mass number is changed but atomic number(protons) still constant,thus the number of neutrons will be changed
Actually, neutrons (because they have a neutral charge) are not involved in making an atom or molecule an ion -- only protons and electrons do that. So, the number of protons compared to the number of neutrons doesn't matter.
The symbol is Ba. The number of neutrons equal the number of protons.
The number of neutrons in any element is equal to mass number - atomic number. So,number of neutrons in cobalt is = 58 - 27 = 32. therefore, number of neutrons in cobalt is 32.
For each isotope the number of neutrons is different.Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 98
NO,each isotope has different number of neutrons why that? in isotopes the mass number is changed but atomic number(protons) still constant,thus the number of neutrons will be changed
isotope
Isotopes are formed through variations in the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
The make up of the nucleus concerned, ie the number of protons and/or neutrons. In the case of fission of for example U-235, two completely different fragments of the U nucleus are formed, with the same total number of protons (92) but fewer neutrons because some are emitted in the fission.
Isotopes of the element is formed when the number of neutron changes.
When the number of protons is changed in an atom, the result is the formation of a NEW ELEMENT.
Actually, neutrons (because they have a neutral charge) are not involved in making an atom or molecule an ion -- only protons and electrons do that. So, the number of protons compared to the number of neutrons doesn't matter.
Atomic nucleus is formed from protons and neutrons.
8. When an atom becomes an ion, it gains or loses electrons. The number of protons and neutrons doesn't change. If the number of neutrons changes then the atom has changed into a different isotope.
The element that an atom is is determined by the number of protons. The number of electrons can be changed (creating an ion), and the number of neutrons can be changed (creating an isotope), and as long as the number of protons does not change, the element that the atom is does not change.
Atom is formed of electrons, protons and neutrons.
The symbol is Ba. The number of neutrons equal the number of protons.
