Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons. Therefore, isotopes have different mass numbers, which give the total number of nucleons-the number of protons plus neutrons. Many, if not all, elements have isotopes. Most are unstable, i.e. radioactive, due to interactions involving the weak force.
IN SHORT:Isotopes have the same atomic number but different Atomic Mass.
For example: Carbon-12, for instance, has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-13, an isotope of carbon, has 6 protons and 7 neutrons.
That is when you have atoms that have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons.
Different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in each atom, but a different number of neutrons.
Atoms have isotopes: it is true, the isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.
The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
Atoms of the same element with different atomic masses are known as isotopes. Isotopes differ only by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the isotopes. The number of protons is the same for all isotopes of an element (because if there were different numbers of protons, then the atoms would not be of the same element).
no they are not the same element bc isotopes have the same amount of protons but not the same amount of neutrons or electrons! -tabbyg
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.
How isotopes same as element alike?
Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons.
Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons and mass.
If an atom of the same element has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, then they are isotopes.
Isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that are only different by the number of neutrons they have
Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons.
Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.
Atoms have isotopes: it is true, the isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.
Only some special diagrams represents isotopes of the same element.
The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
The atomic number is the same for the isotopes of a chemical element.
