What else can I help you with?
If the number of neutrons in an atom is changed does the atom become a new element Why or why not?
Changing the number of neutrons in an atom does not change the element it belongs to because the element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Changing the number of neutrons would result in an isotope of the same element, not a new element.
What is an atom's mass number?
An atom's mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. It is used to identify isotopes of an element since isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
What is a Atom of an element that differs in the number of neutrons compared with other atoms in the same element?
An atom of an element that differs in the number of neutrons compared with other atoms in the same element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in variations in atomic mass.
Isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have a different numbers of what?
Isotopes are different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons (proton number) but different in number of neutrons. Given that nucleon number is equal to the sum of proton and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, isotopes have different nucleon number due to difference in number of neutrons.
The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?
The main difference between isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons, which affects their atomic mass.
If there was an atom of this element that has 18 neutrons would it still be the same element?
Yes. Atoms with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that atom, but a variation in the number of neutrons does not change what the atom is.
Atom of an element with different number of neutrons?
Isotope
What make an atom an isotope?
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
Does an atom retain the chemical identity of an element?
An isotope is an atom that contains a different number of neutrons. In order for an element to change there has to be a different number of protons.
What are atoms that have the same element but different neutrons?
IsotopesThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element. The number of neutrons can vary. If two atoms of the same element have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei, they are isotopes of that element.
If the number of neutrons in an atom is changed does the atom become a new element Why or why not?
Changing the number of neutrons in an atom does not change the element it belongs to because the element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Changing the number of neutrons would result in an isotope of the same element, not a new element.
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
What is the name of an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons?
Ion
What do you call an atom of the same element that has different number of neutrons?
isotopes
What subatomic particle determines if an element is an isotope or not?
The neutron; the proton determines the element of the atom, but different atoms of the same element can have different atomic masses, due to the different number of neutrons of the atoms. Atoms of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called Isotopes. Thus, neutron determines the isotope of an atom.
How is the mass number related to the number of protons and neutrons and atoms has?
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. It represents the total number of nuclear particles (protons and neutrons) in the atom's nucleus. The number of protons in an atom determines its element, while the number of neutrons can vary to create different isotopes of the element.
What is different about the atom of an isotope?
An isotope of an atom has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons compared to the common form of that atom. This results in isotopes having the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.
