Ions, of the element corresponding to the number of protons, with different charge numbers, or possibly a neutral atom and at least one ion of the same element.

As the number of the isotopes of an element increases the number of protons?
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!
Atom of a particular element has a unique and characteristic number of these particles?
Each element has a unique number of protons. If another atom has the same number of protons as that element, it is the same element.
What element has 18 protons 20 nuetrons and 18 electrons What is its atomic number?
The atomic number of am element is determined by its number of either electrons or protons, hence here, it is 18. Therefore the element must be argon which the isotope has mass number 38, as there are 18 protons and 20 neutrons.
What is the number of neutrons in magnesium 24?
The # of nuetrons in any element is the Atomic Mass - the # of protons In this case the atomic mass was 24.3 minus the protons (12) equals 12
For a given element all atoms of that element have the same number of?
The identity of every element is given by the number of protons in the nucleus. To keep electrical neutrality, they also have the same number of electrons.See the Related Questions for more information about protons, neutrons, and electrons in atoms.
What is true about the number of protons and nuetrons in an isotope?
Isotopes of an element have same number of protons and different number of neutrons. Hence similar in chemical properties and different in physical properties.
An element is determined by the number of?
An element can be identified by the number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms.

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!
Which isotopes of uncharged elements have different numbers?
The isotopes of the same element has the same atomic number. But the mass number (atomic mass) is different.
How do you find the atomic mass number of an atom of an element?
add the number of protons and nuetrons together
What is the total number of protons and neutron's in an atom called?
mass number = protons + nuetrons
The mass number of an element is equal to what of an element?
The sum of the number of protons and the number of nuetrons.
How many prtons and nuetrons are in an element with an atomic number of 80?
80 protons and 121 neutrons
How do you calculate the amount of protons or neutrons in an element?
well you look at the periodic table of elements. the atomic number equals the number of protons. Then subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass (both protons and nuetrons have atomic mass units of 1 and electrons equal 0). That will give you the number of nuetrons.
What is the name of the atoms that have the same number of protons and different number of nuetrons?
They are called isotopes.
What is the total the number of protons and nuetrons in the nucleus of an atom?
Z, also known as the mass number, describes the total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
Given a number of protons and the elemental mass how do you determine the numbers of nuetrons?
Subtract the number of protons from the elemental mass number for the isotope of the element given to find the number of neutrons.
