Neutral atoms do. Neutral atoms need the same number of positively charged protons in the nucleus to balance that same number of negatively charged electrons in their orbitals around that atom's nucleus.

An atom will have the same numbers of protons as?

as the atomic number of the element


Atomic numbers and number of protons are same?

Yes, it is correct.


What does it mean if two atoms are isotopes?

If two atoms are isotopes, it means they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Thus, they have the same atomic numbers, but different atomic masses.


What is an isotone?

An isotone is a group of atomic nuclei that have the same neutron number but different atomic numbers. This means isotones have the same number of neutrons but different numbers of protons. Isotones are different from isotopes, which have the same atomic number but different numbers of neutrons.


Are the Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and?

The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.


What is the atomic numbers of a sodium atom that has 11 protons and 12 neutrons?

Sodium's atomic number is always 11 and is always the same as its protons.


What is the deference between atomic number and protons?

they describe the same thing. Proton numbers are unique to each element, as are atomic numbers


Do the atomic numbers of such isotopes differ?

No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.


Do isotopes have the same atomic number and different mass numbers?

Yes. Isotopes have the same atomic number because all of their atoms have the same number of protons. They have different mass numbers because their atoms have different numbers of neutrons, and mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons.


What are atoms that have the same number but different weights?

Atoms that have the same number of protons but different weights are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons), but a different atomic mass (sum of protons and neutrons) due to varying numbers of neutrons.
