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.
An isotope is an element that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Isotopes of an element have similar chemical properties but may differ in atomic mass due to their varying neutron count.
No..... They are called neutral for a reason. But neutral atoms can have electrons added and removed making the atom positive or negative. And neutral atoms are still affected by charged atoms due to reason in depth but to sum up the long explanation of the affect neutral atoms are attracted to charged atoms. Just a side note.... how many of you love Leo Howard? Am I right?
The most abundant element in any organic structure, including the human is hydrogen.
All atoms of the same kind of matter are similar because they have the same number of protons in their nucleus, giving them the same atomic number. This determines the element to which they belong and establishes their chemical properties. Additionally, atoms of the same element have identical electron configurations in their outermost energy levels.
Elements are the simplest form of matter and cannot be broken down into simpler substances. Each element is made up of atoms that have a specific number of protons in their nucleus, which determines their unique chemical properties. There are currently 118 known elements, with each element having its own unique symbol on the periodic table.
No. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and, when neutral, the same number of electrons. They can, however, differ in the number of neutrons.
Yes, neutral atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain. These are called isotopes, which are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons, which results in different isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
Yes, that's correct. The number of protons in an element determines its atomic number and defines which element it is. For neutral atoms, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, balancing out the charges and making the atom electrically neutral.
By number of protons/electrons.
Two different neutral isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which determines the element's identity. The isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they have, which leads to variations in atomic mass but not in chemical properties.
isotopes
Yes, this is true for electrons (and protons) of all neutral atoms of an element.
They are called isotopes.
Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons
They are called isotopes.
Atoms of the same element are alike in terms of their number of protons, which determines the element. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain, leading to different isotopes of that element.
