Atomic Mass increases with the ordered placement of the element of the Periodic Table. Conveniently, the number of protons, nuetrons and electrons also increase with numbered order on the table. Every element is assigned a number. This number is equal to the number of protons, nuetrons and electrons. I believe it's the nuetrons that make up the mass of the element, but not sure!

What structural element do all isotopes of an element have in common?

All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in their nucleus. This is what defines them as being the same chemical element. The number of protons determines the element's atomic number.


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.


Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of protons?

An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).


What are elements with identical number for protons and different number of neutrons called?

The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.


What is a similarity and a difference between isotopes of an element?

All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the atomic nucleus, which is its atomic number on the periodic table. All isotopes of an element contain different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei, which causes the isotopes of an element to vary in mass number (protons + neutrons).

Two isotopes of the element rubidium differ in their number of protons?

This statement is incorrect. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in their number of neutrons. Rubidium, specifically, has two stable isotopes: Rb-85 and Rb-87, which both have 37 protons but different numbers of neutrons.


Why are there not isotopes with unusual numbers of protons?

If the number of protons changes so does the element, as the number of protons defines the element.

Isotopes have the same element but different?

Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.

Isotopes can have the same what?

Isotopes of an element have the same numbers of protons in the nucleus (and corresponding electrons). It's not so much "can have", as "do have". It's just a different number of neutrons that makes a different isotope.

Isotopes of a given element have what?

An isotope has same number of protons but a different number of neutrons as the original element in the atomic nucleus; it has the same atomic number as the element which isn't an isotope, but will have a different mass number. -atomic number


Isotopes of the same element have the same number of?

protons

Which atoms that are same element and have the same number of protons but have different number of neutrons?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. An example is carbon-12 and carbon-14, which both have six protons but differ in the number of neutrons they possess.
