As the number of the isotopes of an element increases the number of protons?
Atomic mass increases with the ordered placement of the element of the periodic table. Conveniently, the number of protons, nuetrons and electrons also increase with numbered order on the table. Every element is assigned a number. This number is equal to the number of protons, nuetrons and electrons. I believe it's the nuetrons that make up the mass of the element, but not sure!
What do the isotypes of chlorine or copper have in common?
Both chlorine and copper have multiple isotopes, meaning they have different varieties of the element with varying numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. These isotopes of chlorine or copper have different atomic masses, but they share the same number of protons, which is what defines them as the element chlorine or copper.
Atoms of the same element may differ in their number?
The specific terms atoms and elements are related in The Atomic Number. The Element that an Atom belongs to is determined by the number of Protons that are contained within Its atomic nucleus. The varying number of neutrons [for any given number of protons] that are needed to keep the atomic nucleus held together is what results in the varying Atomic Weight when compared to the Atomic Number.
How many protons does 123Sb have?
51, just like all the other isotopes of Antimony. The amount of protons does not change in any of the isotopes of any element. If it were to it would be a different element.
Compare and contrast ions with isotopes.?
Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons, giving them a positive or negative charge, while isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Ions can be formed from any element by gaining or losing electrons, whereas isotopes occur naturally and are specific to a particular element.
Which is not true all isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons?
All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.
Is calcuim a mixture?
Only of isotopes. Calcium is an element. No mixture of chemicals can ever be a single element. The atoms of any element, such as calcium, always have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons. The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in that atom. Different Isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, but this doesn't change any of the chemical properties.
How many nutrons does zirconium have?
The number of neutrons for any given element varies, depending on the isotopes. Search the Wikipedia, or Google, for "Isotopes of Zirconium" for the isotopes of this particular element. The list of isotopes will give you the atomic mass (protons + neutrons) for the different isotopes; subtract the atomic number (which is the number of protons) to get the number of neutrons for each isotope.
Which best describe isotopes?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in different atomic masses for isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have similar chemical properties but may have different physical properties due to their varying atomic masses.
How different isotopes of the same element element differ?
Differences in IsotopesThey have different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass numbers.

How many isotopes can there be in an element?
There is no specific number; each element has another number of natural and artificial isotopes.
Atoms of the same element may differ in their number?
The specific terms atoms and elements are related in The Atomic Number. The Element that an Atom belongs to is determined by the number of Protons that are contained within Its atomic nucleus. The varying number of neutrons [for any given number of protons] that are needed to keep the atomic nucleus held together is what results in the varying Atomic Weight when compared to the Atomic Number.
Do all isotopes only occur in heavier elements?
No, isotopes of light elements exist as well. For example, there are several isotopes of the lightest element, hydrogen.No, even the lightest element (hydrogen (H)) has isotopes. These are called Deuterium and Tritium.All elements have isotopes but some of them are very unstable and have disappeared in nature over time.
Why do isotopes of the same element have the same chemical behavior?
Chemical properties of a element is governed by ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION of that element. As isotopes of same element have identical electronic configurations, their chemical properties are same.
What differentiates an isotope of an element from any other atom of that element?
Isotopes are species of atoms having same atomic no. but different atomic masses. So an isotope has either lesser or more neutrons than the usual atom of the element ( often called the most abundant isotope).
