Isotopes are exactly the same as their most commonly found element, the only difference being the number of neutrons. Since neutrons have no charge, adding or subtracting them only changes the mass of the atom, not the charge.

Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.


Is chromium a ion neutral or isotope?

A chromium ion is not neutral. By definition an ion is not neutral. All atoms belong to an isotope, but that has nothing to do with whether the atom is ionized or not.

How many electrons does a neutral atom of sodium -25 have?

All neutral sodium atoms have 11 electrons, regardless of the isotope.


Is xenon an isotope ion or neutral atom?

Xenon can exist as both a neutral atom and in various isotopic forms. Isotopes of xenon have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, but they all have the same number of protons, making them still xenon atoms. When xenon gains or loses electrons, it forms ions.


How many electrons does a neutral atom of sodium-25 have?

A neutral atom of sodium has 11 electrons. Sodium-25 refers to the isotope of sodium with 25 total protons and neutrons, so a neutral sodium-25 atom would still have 11 electrons to balance the 11 protons in the nucleus.

Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.


What is the original atom of uranium?

Uranium neutral atom has 92 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.


What is a neutral particle called?

The neutral part of the atom is called the neutron. It has no charge, all atoms except the primary isotope of hydrogen, and one rare isotope of lithium, have neutrons.


How many electrons does a neutral isotope of C with 8 neutrons have?

A neutral isotope of carbon with 8 neutrons will have 6 electrons. This is because carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is the number of protons, and in a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
