yes, because if it has a different number of neutrons, it could just be a specific type of isotope

How do you explain what does the atomic number stands for?

The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom.


How is an atom's atomic number related to its number of proton's?

An atom's atomic number IS the number of protons it has. The number of protons and electrons are equal to each other also. Illustrate and explain why?


Explain Atomic number and mass number - what are these different atoms called?

We make atomic number by number of protons in a atom. We make mass number by total of both protons and neutrons.


How many protons would you expect to find in neutral nitrogen atom?

A neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons. This is because nitrogen has an atomic number of 7 and each atom has the same number of protons as its atomic number. Therefore a neutral nitrogen atom would have 7 protons.


What Does the number of protons always equal to?

No An atom may have less, the same, or more neutrons than protons. The number of neutrons determine which isotope of an element you have. You do expect the number of protons and electrons to be the same however. If an atom loses or gains an electron to cause the number of electrons and protons to be mismatched we call that an ion rather than an atom.


Identify the subatomic particle used to define an element and explain why this particle is used.?

no i cant answer it


Explain the difference between atomic number and mass number?

Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom while the mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. for example lithium has an atomic number of 3 and a mass number of 7. Therefore lithium has 3 protons and 4 neutrons.


Can the neutral atoms of tow different element have the same number of electron explain?

NO. The number of electrons in any neutral atom must be the same as the number of protons. The number of protons is the atomic number, if the atomic number is the same then the atoms are of the same element, not different ones.


What atom of the carbon has 6 protons?

AnswerI am thinking 6 protons and 6 electrons!!!i know 6 protons and 6 electrons. if you look on the periodic table the number that is solid is the atomic number right. so if you take the mass and round it up.. you divide the mass by the atomic number and you get your answer.Definitly 6 protons and 6 electrons


How is an atoms atomic number related to it's number of protons?

The atomic number IS the number of protons. Elements are classified based on their proton count since no two elements have the same number of protons. This is better than the old periodic table where elements were classified by atomic mass since isotopes exist.


What number represents the number of protons in an atom?

Protons are represented by the atomic number of an element. The number of protons is also the number of electrons. The number of protons is also represented in re Atomic Mass, which is the number of protons and the number of neutrons combined.


Explain how polonium -209 and polonium -211 are similar?

209Po and 211Po are isotopes of polonium. 209Po and 211Po have the same number of protons and electrons, also the same atomic number; the number of protons is of course different. The two isotopes are radioactive.
