isotopes of a given element have the same atomic number (or number of protons) but vary in the number of neutrons and hence the mass number.

What subatomic particles can differ between neutral atoms of the same element?

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.


Does alcohol have isotope?

Yes, alcohol can have isotopes. Isotopes are variations of elements that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Different isotopes of alcohol may have slightly different chemical properties but have the same basic structure.

What makes a minerals?

Minerals are composed of elements. See a Periodic Table to learn more about the elements.


What are the significance to the present society of the periodic table of elements?

When information is organised it's easy to analyse and study.It's easy to relate it .And periodic table organise and classifies elements in different periods and groups which in turn makes it study easy.


Do Isotopes of uranium have different atomic numbers?

No. By definition isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (that is what makes them uranium, for example) but different numbers of neutrons (neutral particules in the nucleus which provide mass).


Why is the periodic table so valuablee for chemists?

Periodic table group elements with similar properties together. It makes study of elements easier for chemists.


Are all sample of elements are composed of atoms with same atomic mass?

No, different samples of an element can have varying atomic masses due to the presence of isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, leading to different atomic masses.


How could modern periodic law remove various anomalies of mendeleevs periodic table?

1.) The atomic mass in Mendeleev's periodic table does not increase regularly. therefore, it was impossible to predict the number of elements between two elements.The Modern periodic table has been made according to the increasing atomic number (Modern Periodic Law states that 'The properties of an element are the periodic function of its atomic number). The atomic number gives us the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. the atomic number increases by one as we go from one element to the next. thus, this makes it easy to ascertain how many undiscovered elements may be there between two known elements.2.) Mendeleev's periodic table was made according to increasing atomic masses. we know that of an element have same chemical properties and atomic number, but different atomic masses. So, the concept of isotopes can not be satisfied.The Modern periodic table is according to increasing atomic numbers. Therefore, the problem of isotopes is easily dealt with.


Is science almost done with the periodic table?

Science is dependent on periodic table. It makes the study of elements easier.
