Isotopes have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Different isotopes of a single element are on the same position on the Periodic Table of elements. The existence of isotopes was first suggested in 1913 by a radiochemist named Frederick Soddy.
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.
Atoms containing the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Isotopes have the same atomic number (number of protons) but differ in atomic mass due to the varying number of neutrons.
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.
Isotopes are different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Atoms that vary in the number of neutrons found in their nuclei are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, which can lead to variations in their atomic mass.
Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called "isotopes".
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.
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called an Isotope.
These atoms are called isotopes.
Atoms containing the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Isotopes have the same atomic number (number of protons) but differ in atomic mass due to the varying number of neutrons.
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.
Atoms which have different number of protons and neutrons but have the same molecular weight are called Isobars.
Atoms that have the same number of protons but different weights are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons), but a different atomic mass (sum of protons and neutrons) due to varying numbers of neutrons.
Two atoms with the same number of protons are not two elements but one element. If they have differing numbers of neutrons, however, they are said to be of different isotopes.
Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons; the different possible versions of each element are called isotopes. For example, the most common isotope of hydrogen has no neutrons at all; there's also a hydrogen isotope called deuterium, with one neutron, and another, tritium, with two neutrons.
No, they can't. Atoms (be careful of the difference between atoms and ions) can only have different numbers of neutrons, and those are called isotopes.
Isotopes are different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
