Usually, an atom has the same number of protons as electrons, but when the number of electrons is changed, the atom is considered ionic. An atom that has lost an electron is called an anion, and an atom that has gained an electron is called a cation. One example of a cation is a potassium ion, or K+, and one example of an anion is chloride,(a chlorine ion) or Cl-

What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
Are Atoms of one element are different from atoms of other elements?
Yes. Atoms are unique to whichever element they compose. They have different amounts of electrons, protons and (neutrons). For Example: Hydrogen Atom: 1 electron, 1 proton. Oxygen Atom: 8 electrons, 8 protons, 8 neutrons.
How do the numbers of protons neutrons and electrons for an element compare?
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.
True or false atoms of different elements have the same never of protons?
All atoms of the same element are the same.7) Isotopes are a family of atoms all of which have the same number of electrons, have the same number of protons in their atomic centers, but different numbers of neutrons.
Are Atoms of different elements exactly alike?
No. An atom is made of a nucleus composed of neutral Neutrons and positively charged Protons, surrounded by negatively charged electrons. The numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom varies depending on the element. Hydrogen, for example, has only one electron. Carbon has 6.
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.
What is a form of an element whose atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of electrons?
An atom with a different number of electrons is called an ion.
What is wrong with the statement ''the atoms of element X are isoelectronic with the atoms of element Y?
The statement is incorrect because isoelectronic means having the same number of electrons, but atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons and electrons. Elements X and Y can have the same number of electrons in their ions, but not in their neutral atoms.
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.
How are isotopes different from state atoms?
The atoms of a chemical element can exist in different types. These are called isotopes. They have the same number of protons (and electrons), but different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of the same element have different masses.
What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
Do all atoms of the same element contain the same number of netrons?
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
What do atoms from different elements have?
Atoms from different elements have different numbers of protons in their nucleus, which determines their unique chemical properties. They can also have different numbers of neutrons, leading to different isotopes of the same element. Additionally, atoms from different elements have varying numbers of electrons, which govern their reactivity and bonding behavior.
How do you know the difference between isotopes and an element?
Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of electrons.
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 atoms of sulfur have a different number of electrons than atoms of any other element?
Every atom of one element has different no. of electrons than any atom of any other element.
What are two ways in which atoms of different elements are different from one another?
The number of protons, which determines the element's identity, varies between atoms of different elements. The arrangement of electrons in an atom, specifically the number of electrons in the outermost shell, differs among elements.
