An atom of a certain element with a different number of neutrons compared with the common form of the element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but a different number of neutrons (which means that they have a different Atomic Mass number).
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between elements and atoms?
An atom is the smallest piece of an element. Said another way, and element is made up one and only one kind of atoms.
Smallest part of a pure substance?
If the pure substance is not an element, the smallest part is a molecule (which is made of atoms) for instance, pure water is made of water molecules, which are made of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom If the pure substance is an element, the smallest part is an atom. (which is made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons) Pure hydrogen is made of atoms. A stable hydrogen atom has 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 1 electron. Protons and Neutrons can be broken down further into Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons. The Electron is a type of Lepton.
What is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical or physical means?
it is called an element.any atom of an element is the purest for of an element. atoms consist of electrons,protonsand neutrons.
What makes one atom or element different than another?
Different atoms either have a different number of protons(which makes them different elements) or a different number of neutrons (which makes them isotopes of the same element).For example, hydrogen has one proton (and usually no neutrons) while helium has two protons (and usually two neutrons). However, hydrogen with one proton and two neutrons is called tritium(3H) while helium with two protons and one neutron is called helium-3 (3He).
The nucleus of an atom contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons while the necleus of another atom contains 12 protons and 16 neutrons what are the atoms?
I believe it is two isotopes of an element. Because an isotope is the amount of protons. with a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. hopefully this will help :)
Will an atom with more neutrons react identically to an atom of the same element with fewer neutrons?
Not always. Some atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are radioactive, whereas the other atoms are not.
If there was an atom of this element that has 18 neutrons would it still be the same element?
Yes. Atoms with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that atom, but a variation in the number of neutrons does not change what the atom is.
What does it mean when the neutrons of an atom are all different?
The number of neutrons present in atoms of an element may differ. Atoms of an element which have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. These differ in mass but have the same chemistry.All of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are the same.
What is an Atom of an element that differs in number of neutrons compared with other atoms of same element?
This atom is called isotope.
What are atoms that have the same element but different neutrons?
IsotopesThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element. The number of neutrons can vary. If two atoms of the same element have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei, they are isotopes of that element.
Atom of same element that differs in numbers of neutrons compared to other atoms of the element?
Isotope
What is a Atom of an element that differs in the number of neutrons compared with other atoms in the same element?
An atom of an element that differs in the number of neutrons compared with other atoms in the same element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in variations in atomic mass.
What differentiates an atom from an isotope?
An isotope is an atom of an element. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. However, all atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.
What is the smallest component in an element?
The smallest unit of a chemical element is the atom.
What is an atom of same elements that differs in the number of neutrons compared to other atoms of the element?
the atom is an isotope
How many neutrons does the atoms have?
Anywhere between zero, and over a hundred - it depends on the atom (on the element, and the isotope).
How a proton differ from an element?
Element is made by atom. atoms included many protons,neutrons and electrons.
