Two different will always have different numbers of protons as the number of protons defines which element an atom is.
However, two isotopes of different elements can have the same number of neutrons.
For example the isotope carbon-13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons while nitrogen-14 has 7 protons and 7 neutrons.
The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.
They have the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.
They all have the same number of neutrons. All atoms of a given element have a specific number of protons. That is what gives an element its elemental identity. But we know that different atoms of a given element can have different numbers of neutrons. These different atoms of the same element are the isotopes of that element. All the atoms of a given isotope of a given element will have the same number of protons and will have the same number of neutrons. all isotopes of an atom have same number of proton but they have different number of neutron so they have same chemical properties and different physical properties. all isotopes of an atom have same number of proton but they have different number of neutron so they have same chemical properties and different physical properties.
Isotopes are different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons (proton number) but different in number of neutrons. Given that nucleon number is equal to the sum of proton and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, isotopes have different nucleon number due to difference in number of neutrons.
An isotope is a form of an element. Isotopes (forms of an element) occur when an atom/s of a single chemical element gains or loses 1 or more neutrons. Eg.. the first isotope "Hydrogen-1" or "Protium" hydrogen has 1 proton in the centre of the atom or nucleus, and 1 electron going around on the outside, isotope two "Hydrogen-2" or "Deuterium" Hydrogen, has 1 proton AND 1 neutron in the nucleus and 1 electron, and isotope three is "Tritium" Hydrogen that has 1 proton, 2 neutrons and 1 electron. The number of protons always stays the same, it's the number of neutrons that determines the form of an element or in other words the isotope.
Only the neutron number is different, same proton and electron number.
The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.
YES. The very definition of isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of proton (same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, therefore different mass numbers.
If a proton has a different number of neutrons, it becomes an isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons, which can impact the stability and properties of the atom.
They have the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.
Proton Number
They have the same number of protons (and electrons) - so proton number. They have a varying number of neutrons - Mass number. Proton number and Atomic number mean the same things, so Isotopes of an element have the same atomic number.
Yes that is true Every atom of a given element does have the same number of protons.
An element by definition refers to all atoms with the same number of protons; so any atom with 1 proton is the same element as all other atoms with one proton; which would be helium. And then, all atoms with 2 protons would be the same element; hydrogen. But the atoms that have 1 proton and the atoms that have 2 protons cannot be the same element.An ion is an element with a different amount of electrons, where if it is a positive ion it is missing an election compared to a "normal" element and if it is a negative ion it would have an extra election compared to a "normal" element.An isotope is a member of the same element but it has a different number of neutrons.
The number of protons is different for each element, but the mass of each individual proton is always the same.
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons, which results in different isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
The proton and electron number are equal for all isotopes of the same specific element.
