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.

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.
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 of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?
The difference between isotopes of the same element have to do with the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of an element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass.
What element has 2 electrons 3 protons and 4 neutrons?
There is no such element: an element is neutral, so it has equal numbers of protons and electrons.Impossible:2 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons is the IMpossible He-1 isotope with mass number 6 (=2p+4n). Helium does not accept electrons because it is noble.Possible:2 protons 4 neutrons and 2 electrons is (elemental) Helium, isotope with mass number 6 (=2p+4n)3 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons is (elemental) Lithium
Do Eletrically neutral element have equal numbers of electrons and neutrons?
Electrically neutral elements have equal numbers of electrons and protons. A stable element has equal numbers of protons and neutrons. Thus, the answer to the question ''Do Eletrically neutral element have equal numbers of electrons and neutrons?'' depends on the stability of the element i.e. if stable then yes and if unstable than might not.
How do the atomic mass numbers of different isotopes of an element compare?
The different isotopes have different atomic mass numbers, because the isotope has different numbers of neutrons. The protons and electrons are the same, so the change in mass number is the same as the change in the number of neutrons.
Isotopes have the same element but different?
Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.
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 many protons and electrons and neutrons are in the Bohr model?
These numbers are different for each chemical element.
How can cobalt-59 and cobalt-60 be the same element but have different mass numbers?
They have different numbers of neutrons. An element is all of the atoms that have the same number of protons, but the the number of neutrons and electrons may vary.
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.
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 of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
What is the mass numberfor an atom with 5 electrons 5 protons and 5 neutrons?
It is the boron element. It contains similar numbers of electrons and protons.
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.
What do two neutral isotopes of the element have in common?
The same numbers of protons and of electrons; the difference between isotopes is in the number of neutrons.
