Yes - e.g. Hydrogen has one proton AND one electron (to balance the proton's positive charge with the electron's negative charge). The chemical properties of elements are therefore determined by the number of Electrons in the atom's shell (and therefore Protons in the atom's nucleus).
However neutrally (uncharged) particles may share the atom's nucleus with the Protons. These particles are called Neutrons - the numbers of these present in the nucleus form the ISOTOPES of each element.
What else can I help you with?
Can two different element have the same number of proton?
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.
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 the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
Atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. If they have the same number of protons and neutrons but different numbers of electrons, those are ions.
What is the same 2 elements with different neutrons?
Elements with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called isotopes. For example Carbon has many different isotopes, but the isotope that is most abundant in nature is Carbon - 12.
The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?
The difference between isotopes of the same element have to do with the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of an element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass.
What are elements having same number of protons and neutrons called as?
Carbon Number of Protons/Electrons: 6 Number of Neutrons: 6
What element is composed of atoms with the same number of neutrons or protons?
Ideally, all elements should have the same number of protons, neutrons and electrons unless they become ionic. This is how elements such as the noble gases remain stable. They the same number of electrons, protons, and neutrons, and a full octet.
Do uncombined atoms have the same number of neutrons as protons?
Uncombined atoms have the same number of neutrons as protons only if they are isotopes of the element, which means the atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Otherwise, atoms with the same number of protons and neutrons would be considered as different elements.
Can two different element have the same number of proton?
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.
How are elements determind?
Elelments are determined by the amount of protons they have. While different elements can have the same number of neutrons and protons, no two different elements can have the same amount of protons.
Can 2 different elements have the same neutrons and protons?
Each chemical element has a different number of protons; the number of neutrons can be similar.
What name is given to elements of the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?
IsotopeIsotopes
Are there the same number of portons and neutrons in an atom?
No, atoms do not always have the same number of protons and neutrons. The number of protons determines the element, while the sum of protons and neutrons determines the isotope of an element. Some atoms have equal numbers of protons and neutrons, but others have different numbers.
If two atoms with the same number of protons and different neutrons are they still the same element?
Yes, elements are groups of atoms with the same number of protons.
Does there have to be the same number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
No. Even atoms of the same element will vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus. For example, carbon (6 protons) has isotopes with 6, 7, and 8 neutrons. The most common isotope of hydrogen (1 proton) does not have any neutrons. While the most common isotopes of the lighter elements generally have the same number of protons and neutrons, heavier elements will have more neutrons than protons. For example the most common most stable isotope of uranium (92 protons) has 146 neutrons.
If two elements have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons can they be atoms of the same element.?
Yes. If two atoms have the same number of protons then by definition they are the same element.
What is the same about isotopes of the same elements?
The isotopes of the same element have an identical number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
