Why the behaviour of both protons and electrons in isotopes of an atom are the same?

This behaviour is not the same: protons are positive charged particles and electrons are very small negative charged particles.

Is the atomic number of an element the sum of the protons and electrons in an atom of that element?
Atomic number is the number of protons only=number of electrons
How are isotopes different from neutral atoms?
Isotopes are a type of atom that share the same number of protons as the neutral atom, but have a different number of neutrons. This is different from an ion, which has a different number of electrons.
How do the atoms of one isotope differ from those of other isotopes of the same element?
Primarily, isotopes differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Secondarily, because some combinations of protons and neutrons produce an unstable nucleus, they may differ by being radioactive.
What particle determines the mass of a atom?
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
How many electrons versus protons in an atom?
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
Do isotopes have an even amount of protons and electrons?
depends on the atom, Isotopes are mutations of Atoms, with a different mass number. they still have the same amount of protons and electrons as the proper atom.
An atom has the same number of which two particles?
A neutral (uncharged) atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Isotopes of an element may have several stable isotopes with various numbers of neutrons.
An atom has 11 protons 13 neutrons and 11 electrons What are possible isotopes of this atom?
An atom with 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. B. An atom with 11 protons, 10 neutrons, and 11 electrons.An atom with 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons.
What do two diffenent neutral isotopes of the same element have in common?
The number of protons per atom, and the number of electrons per atom.
What is the different isotopes of an atom retain the properties of the atom?
Because the number of protons and electrons remain unchanged.
How many electrons and protons does uranium contain?
92 protonsAll the isotopes of uranium has 92 protons.
What is the number of protons and nuetrons and electrons in a helium atom?
2 protons, 2 electrons. He-3 and He-4 isotopes have 1 and 2 neutrons respectively
Why are number of electrons and protons in boron equal?
Five protons and five electrons. It has two stable isotopes with five and six neutrons, respectively.
How many protons electrons and neutrons do sulfur have?
A sulfer atom has: 16 electrons, 16 protons and 16 neutrons but sulfer ions and isotopes do exist where this is different
Which pair below describes isotopes of the same element Aan atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons - an atom with 8 protons an 6 neutrons Ban atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons - an atom with 6 p?
The pair below that describes isotopes of the same element is B, an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons-an atom with 6 protons. It is not A, an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons- an atom with 8 protons and 6 neutrons. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, which is the atomic number of the element.
What do all sodium isotopes have in common and how do they difference?
They have the same number of protons and electrons.
How do the number of electrons compare in two isotopes in an element?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Isotopes of the same element also have the same number of electrons and the electronic structure.
