As I understand it, since they have the same number of protons, they tend to attract the same number of electrons. All neutral atoms of the same elements will have the same number of electrons. This gives them similar chemical properties, since the chemical properties are, to a great extent, determined by the outermost electrons.
What else can I help you with?
The number of protons and electrons found in an element?
In an atom of any isotope of any element, there is a number of protons which is similar to the number of electrons.
Element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?
An isotope of an element has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. One of the most common is deuterium (heavy water), an isotope of hydrogen that has one neutron instead of the usual zero.
Why need to know the percentage of each isotope of an element to determine the atomic mass?
Because each isotope of an element has a mass different from any other isotope of the same element, and the atomic mass of an element is an average, weighted by the proportion of each isotope, in the naturally occurring element.
An element that has the same chemical properties as other atoms of that elementbut that has a different number of neutrons is?
An isotope is an element that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Isotopes of an element have similar chemical properties but may differ in atomic mass due to their varying neutron count.
What element has the atomic mass of 22?
An isotope of Neon. This isotope accounts for between a fifth and a quarter of the element.
What best describes a radioisotope?
its nucleus is unstable
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom How does it differ from the element atom?
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
How do you find the atomic number of an isotope?
The atomic number of an isotope is always identical to every other isotope, otherwise, it would form a separate element.
An element with a number of neutrons different from its normal number is called a what?
It is called an isotope.
What is a antonym for isotope?
The antonym for isotope is non-isotope. An isotope refers to atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, whereas non-isotope would refer to atoms of the same element having the same number of neutrons.
Which is a factor in determining the average atomic mass of an element?
The two main factors in determining the average atomic mass of an element are:the isotopic composition of the element (the fraction of each isotope)the atomic mass of each isotope
