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.
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.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does the Ni have?
Nickel have 28 protons and electrons and a different number of neutrons for each isotope..
How many electron and protons and neutrons does gold have?
Gold has 79 electrons and protons, and 118 neutrons (in the isotope 197Au); other isotopes of gold have different numbers of neutrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in chlorine 37?
Cl-37 : 17 protons , 20 neutrons , 17 electrons Compare with Cl-35 ; 17 protons , 18 neutrons, 17 electrons. These are two different and common isotopes of chlorine. Remember 'Different isotopes have a different number of neutrons'. Chemically they react the same.
Protons and neutrons not alike?
no they are not alike
How are protons and neutrons alike and how they different?
There are nothing similar. Mass and charge is totally different.
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.
Which of these statements is false all neutrons are alike all electrons are alike all protons are alike all atoms are alike?
True statements: All neutrons are alike, all electrons are alike, all protons are alike (All atoms of a given isotope is only alike). False statement: All atoms are alike All atoms are not alike as they may vary in the number of protons / electrons / neutrons.
How are protons and neutrons alike?
Neutrons and protons are alike because when the electrons orbit around an atom, they are both in the center of the atom, or in the nucleus!!!
How many protons are neutrons?
None -- all protons are protons, which are different from neutrons.
Are neutrons in the atoms of different elements alike?
neutrons of all atoms are alike
Where are protons and neutrons of an atom contained?
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Different amount of neutrons- Isotopes. Different amount of protons- Different element.
How are neutrons and protons different?
Protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral.
What is one thing protons and neutrons have different?
Charge. Protons are positive, neutrons are neutral.
Why are the atoms in an element exactly alike in some ways but may not be alike in other ways?
they all have same number of protons and electrons (in unionized form) but may have different number of neutrons.
How do electrons different from both protons and neutrons?
Electrons carry a negative charge, protons and neutrons do not.
