Define the term isotope explain how two isotopes of an element are different?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of an element have the same atomic number, but different mass numbers. I hope I helped! ^_^
Why do two isotopes of an element have same atomic numbers but different mass numbers?
why do you think i looked on this thing to find the answer.YOU TELL ME!
Which two notations represent atoms that are isotopes of the same element?
The two notations represent atoms that are isotopes of the same element is 121 Sn and 119 Sn. The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that elements naturally occurring isotopes.
What are isotopes for an element?
isotopes are one or two more atoms having the same atomie number but different mass numbers. :) hope that helps and thatyour under 15.
Which of the two numbers in each symbol might be different for a different atom of the same element?
The mass number would be different for different isotopes of the same element.

Two isotopes of an element have different?
Two isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but have different mass numbers (sum of protons and neutrons). This means that they will differ in the number of neutrons despite being the same element.
Can isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.
Two atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. What can you conclude about these two atoms They have the same charge. They have the same mass. They are the same isotope.?
They have the same charge, but they have different mass. They are isotopes of the same element.
What do two neutral isotopes of the element have in common?
The same numbers of protons and of electrons; the difference between isotopes is in the number of neutrons.
What two what are isotopes of the same element 3116X 3115X 3216X?
For two isotopes to be of the same element it has to have the same atomic number and a different mass number. This means 3116X and 3216X are the same element.
How are isotopes related to atomic masses not being whole numbers?
Atomic masses are the weighted average of all the isotopes of an element. The average is based on the relative abundance of each isotope. Let say we have an element with two isotopes, the first isotope has a mass of 6 and the second has a mass of 8. If we took a straight average of the atomic masses then the element would have a mass of 7. But a weighted average based on the abundance of each isotope would be different (unless both isotopes are found to be in equal amounts ie. both 50% abundance) If the isotope with a mass of 6 had a relative abundance of 75% (meaning that 3/4 of all atoms of that element had a mass of 6) then the other isotope would have a relative abundance of 25% (relative abundance must add up to 100%). The atomic mass of the elements would be calculated by multiplying each isotopes mass my the relative abundance and then adding the two results together. 75% (6) = 4.5 25% (8) = 2.0 4.5 + 2.0 = 6.5 The atomic mass for this element would have an atomic mass of 6.5 amu (atomic mass units)
