Yea because isotopes only differ in their # of neutrons, not electrons

What would cause the average atomic mass to be close to a whole number?
The average atomic mass of an element would be closer to a whole number if there were few to no electrons. This means having little to no electrons in the element's isotopes.
Can you find out what the element is by the number of electrons in a neutral atom?
Yes, Elements are identified by the amount of electrons it has. Even isotopes are elements are still recognised by their amount of electrons. For example if you had a question: what element has 2 more electrons that Carbon? Carbon has 6 electrons, so 2 more would be 8. That would mean the element would therefore be Oxygen
How do isotopes of the same element have the same atomic size?
Isotopes of the same element have the same atomic size because atomic size is determined by the number of protons and this number is always constant for an element. The mass number of isotopes may however vary.
The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?
The difference between isotopes of the same element have to do with the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of an element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass.
Two isotopes of the element rubidium differ in their number of protons?
no isotopes of a particular chemical element all have the same number of protons
Are isotopes are atoms of an element that differ in there number of neutrons?
Yes, isotopes of the same element would have differed numbers of neutrons.
What do atoms of the same element have the same number of?
An Isotope has the same number of Protons (and thus electrons in its electrically neutral state) but a different number of Neutrons. Ergo, an element is defined by the number of Protons in its nucleus.
Do all atoms of the same element contain the same number of what?
Protons and thus to keep the atom electrically neutral, electrons too. Different isotopes would have a different number of neutrons.
Do Isotopes of uranium have different atomic numbers?
No. By definition isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (that is what makes them uranium, for example) but different numbers of neutrons (neutral particules in the nucleus which provide mass).
The various atomic weights of the same element are called?
Atoms of the same element with different atomic masses are known as isotopes. Isotopes differ only by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the isotopes. The number of protons is the same for all isotopes of an element (because if there were different numbers of protons, then the atoms would not be of the same element).
What is the oxide number of an element?
The charge an element would have if it lost or gained electrons
How are an atom ion and isotope of an element different?
An ion is an element that has lost or gained electrons, "cation - positive charge", "anion - negative charge". Gaining a charge causes the element to be more or less reactive. An isotope is an element that has lost or gained neutrons. Losing or gaining neutrons does not effect the overall charge, but it does affect the elements stability.
