What element has atoms which do not have nuetrons?
The most abundent isotope of Hydrogen has only a proton for a nucleus with a single electron orbiting it. However some isotopes of Hydrogen do have neutrons in the nucleus.
Why do all isotpoes of an element have the same chemical properties?
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.
What are the protons in hydrogen atom?
The proton is an elementary particle with the mass 1.00727646677 atomic units of mass and the electrical charge +1. It is a hydrogen ion in which one electron is lost. But since hydrogen only has one electron and one proton, a hydrogen ion is just called a "proton", since only a proton is left.
What is produced by the proton-proton chain?
Proton is a hydrogen atom without an electron.Since hydrogen has only one electron a collision between a proton and an electron will produce a hydrogen atom. H(atom) + H(atom) = H2 (molecule) 1 e 1 e 2 es Therefore H+ is a proton which does not have any electron in its shell. So H+ + e = H (atom) only if a productive collision happens which is enough fot the nucleus to trap the colliding electron to its shell
Deuterium and tritium are?
they are the isotopes of hydrogen. 1) hydrogen: proton=1 electron=1 neutron=0 2) deutrium: P=1 E=1 N=1 3) trituim: P=1 E=1 N=2 For info tritruim is the only one that has radiation (LIGHT)
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of what-?
Only the neutron number is different, same proton and electron number.
Each of the three known isotopes of hydrogen has what protons in the nucleus?
By definition Hydrogen has only one proton.
What are the number of protons neutrons and electrons in the following isotopes 3-1 H?
There are only one proton and electron. But it contains 2 neutrons.
How many electron are in a hydrogen atom?
There is only ONE electron in the hydrogen atom . Here is a table of hydrogen isotopes. You will notice in all three cases there is only one proton and one electron. protium ([1/1]p) ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons , 1 electron deuterium ([2/1]d) ; 1 proton, 1 neutron , 1 electron tritium ([3/1]t) ; 1 proton, 2 neutrons , 1 electron NB helium ([4/2]He) ; 2 protons, 2 neutrons, 2 electrons.
What element has atoms which do not have nuetrons?
The most abundent isotope of Hydrogen has only a proton for a nucleus with a single electron orbiting it. However some isotopes of Hydrogen do have neutrons in the nucleus.
What are different isotopes with their mass?
Most elements exhibit isotopes. Taking hydrogen as an example. It has three isotopes, viz. Protium, Deuterium , and Tritium. Protium (H-1)contains 1 proton and 1 electrons. It is the commonest isotopes of hydrogen, and is what is commonly thought of as hydrogen. Deuterium (H-2 /(D))contains 1 proton , 1 electron and 1 neutron. It is sometimes referred to as 'Heavy hydrogen' and is used to make 'Heavy water' for nuclear reactors. etc., Tritium (H-3 /(T))contains 1 proton , 1 electron and 2 neutrons. It can be thought of as 'Super heavy hydrogen'. It is the least comment isotope, known only in trace amounts, and is Radio-Active. Notice all isotopes of hydrogen contain only ONE proton and ONE electron , but the number of neutrons varies. Other well known isotopes are Carbon-12 / -13/-14 and Chlorine =35/-37 and uranium-235/-236-238
Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?
This is valid only for the attraction between a proton and an electron.
An atom of hydrogen is made up of?
All isotopes of hydrogen contain one proton. The single thing that makes each element unique is the number of protons in its nucleus. Only that. Neutron count can vary with different isotopes of an element, and electron count can vary as we see an atom loan or borrow electrons. Proton count always identifies an element, and nothing else. The word "isotope" means the same element, with the same properties, but with different numbers of neutrons. Most hydrogen atoms have one proton and no neutrons. Deuterium is the isotope that has one proton and one neutron, and tritium has one proton and two neutrons.Hydrogen with oxygen forms water; deuterium and oxygen forms "heavy water". Tritium is radioactive, and decays into helium-3.
Are the charges of protons and electrons opposite and equal?
Yes, a proton is a subatomic particle that carries a charge equal to but opposite to that of an electron. The proton has a positive charge, and the electron has a negative charge.
Why do all isotpoes of an element have the same chemical properties?
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.
How many types of atom can be found in an element?
For a given element, there is only one type of atom. It is the number of protons. However, A given element my exhibit different isotopes. This is where the atomic mass is different because of the different number of neutrons, but the number of protons remains the same. For ,say Hydrogen , It only contain 1 proton ,but has three different isotopes. #1 ; protium ; 1 proton , no neutrons, 1 electron ( The commonest isotope) #2 ; deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 neutron, 1 electron ( Far less common) #3 ; tritium ; 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron ( Very rare and radio-active). However, notice in all three cases the number or protons remains the same, so it remains the same atom. For a different element there will be a different number of protons, so it is a different atom. e.g. Helium; 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 2 electrons. Notice it has 2 neutrons , like tritium, but this does not make it the same element with different atoms.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does an element have?
An element must always have the same number of protons as it's atomic number. The number of electrons may vary, making an atom into an ion, and the number of neutrons can also vary which is why we have different isotopes of the same element.
