because they differ in the number of neutrons
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in variations in atomic mass for isotopes. The element atoms on the periodic table represent the average mass of all its naturally occurring isotopes.
The number of neutrons is different.
One can determine the relative abundance of isotopes in a sample by using mass spectrometry, a technique that separates and measures the mass-to-charge ratio of isotopes in a sample. This allows scientists to calculate the relative abundance of different isotopes present.
Isotopes can be identified by their atomic number and mass number. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This difference in neutron count results in different mass numbers for each isotope. Scientists use mass spectrometry to measure the mass of isotopes and identify them based on their unique mass numbers.
One can find an abundance of isotopes with atomic mass by conducting experiments in laboratories and analyzing the results using techniques such as mass spectrometry. Isotopes are variants of elements with different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, leading to different atomic masses. By studying the distribution of isotopes in a sample, scientists can determine the relative abundance of each isotope present.
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. When looking at several nuclear symbols of the same element, if the number of protons (atomic number) remains the same but the mass number changes, then the elements are isotopes of one another. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Neutrons.
They differ from each other in the number of neutrons, and therefore also the mass. They will also have different stabilities (for example, some of them may be radioactive), but this is complicated.
The atomic number of isotopes of the same element is the same because they all have the same number of protons in their nucleus. The mass number of isotopes, however, can vary because it is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, and different isotopes can have different numbers of neutrons.
Chemical properties are determined by the electron configuration of an atom, not by its mass. These do not differ in all isotopes of one element, because isotopes have the same number of PROTONS thus the same electron configuration. Only the mass of different isotopes of one element is different by the different number of NEUTRONS.
Isotopes in a sample can be found using techniques such as mass spectrometry, which separates isotopes based on their mass-to-charge ratio, or through nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which detects isotopes based on their magnetic properties. These methods help identify and quantify the different isotopes present in a sample.
They are isotopes of one another. The numbers indicate the mass number, which is the product of the number of neutrons and the number of protons. Since they're both hydrogen atoms, we know that they both have one proton. However, 1H has no neutrons while 2H has one neutron. Atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes.
