Do all isotopes of an elements have different numbers of electrons?

No.
The essence of an isotope is that all isotopes have the same number of protons in the nucleus, and thus the same number of electrons. What varies is the number of neutrons in the nucleus.

NO!!!
The definition of an isotope is ' An isotope has a different number of neutrons'.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes because it has many electrons which have many variable numbers
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoNo, isotopes do not have variable numbers of electrons. Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons despite being atoms of the same element.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agono they have different number of neutrons.
example ....carbon 6, carbon 12 and carbon 13. ...all have 6 protons and 6 electrons but different neutrons
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoAll the isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons and protons; different is only the number of neutrons.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoNo. A neutral atom of a given element always has the same number of electrons. Isotopes vary in the number of neutrons.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoThe neutral atom has the same number of electrons.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoFalse.

Do Isotopes of uranium have different atomic numbers?
No. By definition isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (that is what makes them uranium, for example) but different numbers of neutrons (neutral particules in the nucleus which provide mass).
How do the numbers of protons neutrons and electrons for an element compare?
In the neutral state, all atoms of the same element contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. However, most elements have atoms with different numbers of neutrons. These are called isotopes.
How are the isotopes of an element are alike and how are they different?
The isotopes of an element are alike in that they have the same number of protons, electrons, and the same chemical properties. The isotopes are different in that they have different numbers of neutrons and thus different atomic masses.
How are the element within a row different?
They have different numbers of valence electrons.
Isotopes have the same number of but different numbers of?
The number of protons (and electrons in a neutral atom) is identical. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Form of an element having different atomic and number of neutrons?
Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
Do Isotopes of uranium have different atomic numbers?
No. By definition isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (that is what makes them uranium, for example) but different numbers of neutrons (neutral particules in the nucleus which provide mass).
Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of electrons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons an electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
Isotopes of uncharged elements have different numbers of?
Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they possess.
What does isotopes?
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
How do the numbers of protons neutrons and electrons for an element compare?
In the neutral state, all atoms of the same element contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. However, most elements have atoms with different numbers of neutrons. These are called isotopes.
What isotopes of uncharded elements have different numbers?
The atomic number of the isotopes of an element is identical; the mass number is different.
Do the atomic numbers of such isotopes differ?
No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.
How are isotopes different than naturally occurring elements?
Isotopes of an element have different masses because their nuclei have different numbers of neutrons.
How many elements within a row different?
They have different numbers of valance electrons
What do elements of isotopes have differently?
Because of the difference in mass number. Isotopes must have different numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes of uncharged elements have different numbers of which of these?
Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons Neutrons (:
