The stability of an isotope is related to its ratio of neutrons to protons because this ratio affects the balance of forces within the nucleus. Isotopes with too many or too few neutrons compared to protons may be unstable and undergo radioactive decay to achieve a more balanced ratio, leading to a more stable configuration.

- Which of the following particles differ in isotope atomsA) cationsB) neutronsC) ionsD) protonsE) electrons?
B) neutrons differ in isotope atoms. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, which can affect the stability and properties of the atom. Cations (positively charged ions), ions, protons, and electrons are not directly related to the concept of isotopes.
How is an element with 56 protons and 82 neutrons related to an element with 56 protons and 78 neutrons?
They are both Isotopes of Barium. The 56 protons tell us that the element is Barium and when you add the neutrons with the protons you get barium138 and barium134. They are both stable isotobes of barium but of all the barium in the world about 72% is barium138 and 2% is barium134.
How are protons neutrons and electrons related to the periodic table?
The numbers of both protons and electrons in each neutral atom are the same as the atomic number shown for the element. The difference between the the atomic mass and the atomic number is related to the number of neutrons present in each atom. For a single isotope, this will be a whole number, but most elements have more than one radioactively stable isotope, and in that instance the number of neutrons may appear to be fractional rather than whole, but the fraction is actually a weighted average of whole numbers for each stable isotope.
The chemical properties of an atom are related to the what a neutrons b valence electrons c protons d core electrons?
The chemical properties of an atom are primarily related to its valence electrons. These are the electrons in the outermost energy level and are involved in chemical bonding and reactions. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the element's identity, while core electrons play a role in the atom's stability but do not significantly impact its chemical behavior. Neutrons mainly contribute to the atom's mass and stability.
How many neutrons does holmium have?
98 neutrons. Holmium has only one stable isotope Ho-165, with 67 protons and 98 neutrons to make up the 165 mass number. There are unstable isotopes that vary from this. See related link.

How many protons electrons and neutrons are in the element fluorine?
The number of protons is the same as the atomic number, which is nine in this case. If the atom is neutral, then the number of electrons will balance the number of protons, also nine in this case. Usually, the number of neutrons will vary with the isotope (atoms with a different number of neutrons) however, fluorine has only one natural isotope, 18F, with nine neutrons.See link below for more information on fluorine, as well as the related question below that will show you how to find the number of each subatomic particle in any atom.
How is isotope and mass number related?
2 isotopes of the same element will have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The sum of protons and neutrons is the mass number, so different isotopes will have different mass numbers.
How many protons and neutrons and electron does caesium have?
Cesium has 55 protons. The non-ionic form has 55 electrons. The number of neutrons, however, varies depending on which isotope you are talking about. The stable isotope 133Cs has 78 neutrons. The most commonly used unstable isotope 137Cs has 82 neutrons. There are isotopes of cesium ranging all the way from 112Cs at 57 neutrons to 151Cs at 96 neutrons.

How are protons and neutrons related?
For a stable atom, no. of protons= no. of electrons no of neutrons= Atomic Mass- no. of protons
What is the protons neutrons and electrons of helium?
The number of protons in an element is always the same as the atomic number, which is 2 in the case of helium. (The atomic number is assigned based on the number of protons in an element.) In a neutral atom (one with no charge), the number of electrons equals the number of protons, so it will be 2 electrons also. However, the number of neutrons will vary depending on the isotope (atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons). There are two stable isotopes of Helium, 3He and 4He, having 1 neutron and 2 neutrons respectively. Most helium is helium-4, and helium-3 is found as only about one atom in a million.See link below for more information on Helium, as well as the related question below that will show you how to find the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in any atom.
How many neutrons does the the common isotope of gold have?
Atomic weight is neutrons plus protons. If the atomic weight is 197, we subtract the number of protons which we know is 79 because that's what makes it gold, we get 118.
How is an element with 56 protons and 82 neutrons related to an element with 56 protons and 78 neutrons?
They are both Isotopes of Barium. The 56 protons tell us that the element is Barium and when you add the neutrons with the protons you get barium138 and barium134. They are both stable isotobes of barium but of all the barium in the world about 72% is barium138 and 2% is barium134.
What is the opposites of an isotope?
The opposite of an isotope would be a pure element that does not contain any variations in the number of neutrons in its nucleus. This means that all atoms of that element have the same number of protons and neutrons.
What do isotopes and nucleus have in common?
Isotopes and nuclei are both related to atoms. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. The nucleus is the central part of an atom that contains protons and neutrons.
What would be an isotope of carbon12?
The 12 in Carbon-12 designates the isotope which has an atomic mass of 12. This is the most abundant isotope of carbon. Carbon has an atomic number of 6, therefore it has 6 protons. Carbon 12, therefore has 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 is another isotope of carbon, still having 6 protons, but has 8 neutrons, so it has an atomic mass of (6 + 8 = 14). See related link for more information on carbon isotopes.
How is an isotope and mass number related?
It isn't, as such. Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons, and neutrons have a mas of one atomic mass unit (amu). So isotopes have different atomic masses, but being told the number of neutrons any isotope has, will not enable you to say what element or atomic mass it had, unless you remembered the details for every single isotope. Even then different elements can have the same number of neutrons. Isotopes do get named after their atomic mass however - uranaium 235 has an atomic mass of 235, for instance.
