Do isotopes differ by number of electrons?

Isotopes differ by the number of protons.


How do electrons differ from both protons and nuetrons?

Electrons are very tiny compared to protons and neutrons. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons are positive and neutrons are neutral.


Atoms of one element differ from atoms of another?

By number of protons/electrons.


Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?

Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.


Do protons electons and neutrons differ in mass?

As I remember neutrons and protons weight something similar, electrons have a far smaller mass which is negligable in comparison to the weight of protons.


Protons neutrons and electrons combine to form what?

Protons, neutrons, and electrons can form any type of atom on the Periodic Table of Elements.The amount of protons determine what type of element an atom is.If the number of neutrons differ from the stable amount it should have, the atom is known as an isotope.If the amount of electrons differ from the amount of protons, the atom is known as an ion.


How does protons nuetrons and electrons differ?

All have spin one-half. Protons have a charge of positive one; electrons, negative one; neutrons, neutral. Protons and neutrons have about the same mass; electrons are much less massive. Protons and neutrons have an internal structure -- ie, they are composed of quarks -- while electrons are just themselves. The first two are "hadrons" and the latter is a "lepton."


Do the atomic numbers of such isotopes differ?

No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.


How does an atom of iron differ in structure from an atom of gold?

The number of protons, neutrons ad electrons is different.


Do the atomic number of isotopes differ?

No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.


How a proton differ from an element?

Element is made by atom. atoms included many protons,neutrons and electrons.


What is the number of protonsneutronsand electrons in each pair of isotopes?

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons and electrons but differ in the number of neutrons. For example, carbon-12 has 6 protons and 6 electrons, with 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 6 protons and 6 electrons, but with 8 neutrons. Therefore, the number of protons and electrons remains consistent between isotopes, while the neutron count varies.
