How are isotopes of one element similar to each other?
An isotope of an element is same as the element in that it has the same number of protons. An isotope of an element is different from the element in that it has a different number of neutrons.
Two atoms are isotopes if they contain?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element which differ in the number of neutrons they contain. For example, helium-3 (3He), with two protons and one neutron in each nucleus, and helium-4 (4He), with two protons and two neutrons, are two different isotopes of helium. Nearly all elements found in nature are mixtures of several different isotopes. Although the chemical properties of isotopes of the same element are the same, the physical properties differ. The natural proportions of the isotopes are expressed in the form of an abundance ratio.
What is the meaning of the term isotopes?
An isotope is a form of an element. Isotopes (forms of an element) occur when an atom/s of a single chemical element gains or loses 1 or more neutrons. Eg.. the first isotope "Hydrogen-1" or "Protium" hydrogen has 1 proton in the centre of the atom or nucleus, and 1 electron going around on the outside, isotope two "Hydrogen-2" or "Deuterium" Hydrogen, has 1 proton AND 1 neutron in the nucleus and 1 electron, and isotope three is "Tritium" Hydrogen that has 1 proton, 2 neutrons and 1 electron. The number of protons always stays the same, it's the number of neutrons that determines the form of an element or in other words the isotope.
What are the similarities and differences among the isotopes of an element?
Similar in number of protons, electrons, thus in chemical properties, except in nuclear reactions. Different in number of neutrons, mass and a lot of physical properties.
How is the average mass number of an element is determained?
The atomic number (the mass) of an element is determined by finding the masses of the isotopes of that element, adding them all together, and dividing by the number of isotopes. (The Atomic number is the average of all the masses.)
What are elements with isotopic atoms?
Elements with isotopic atoms? An isotope is the same form of an element, but with a different number of neutrons. An element with isotopes/"isotopic atoms" is simply an element with isotopes.
Which component of an atom varies in number to form different isotopes of the same element?
neutrons
Are isotopes related to compounds?
Not directly. Isotopes are different forms of an element having different numbers of neutrons in their nucleus. But as different isotopes have the same chemical properties, they all can form the same compounds which function the same chemically.
Can two different isotopes of an element form a diatomic molecule?
Yes. There is nothing that would prevent them from doing that.
How the elements of isotopes are alike and how they are different?
Elements can exist in the form of different isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in their nuclei but have different numbers of neutrons. The first gives them the same atomic number and chemical properties while the second gives them different atomic weights.
Form of an element having different atomic and number of neutrons?
Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
Do isotopes exist independently to form an element or do all the isotopes when combined constitute an element?
The ratio of isotopes are constant throughout the universe. In any random sample of any element, there will be a consistent ratio of isotopes of that element. This is what makes radiocarbon dating of ancient organic material possible.
What is the half life of arsenic?
Arsenic (in the form of arsenic-75) is a stable element. Only its isotopes have a half-life. As there are many isotopes of every element, and each has a different half life, it is difficult to specify a precise answer. The related link below contains a list of known isotopes and their half lives.
How are isotopes of one element similar to each other?
An isotope of an element is same as the element in that it has the same number of protons. An isotope of an element is different from the element in that it has a different number of neutrons.
Two atoms are isotopes if they contain?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element which differ in the number of neutrons they contain. For example, helium-3 (3He), with two protons and one neutron in each nucleus, and helium-4 (4He), with two protons and two neutrons, are two different isotopes of helium. Nearly all elements found in nature are mixtures of several different isotopes. Although the chemical properties of isotopes of the same element are the same, the physical properties differ. The natural proportions of the isotopes are expressed in the form of an abundance ratio.
What isotopes always have the same element?
Isotopes are variations of an element. Isotopes of one element always have the same number of protons because it's the number of protons that define the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons which will equal the number of protons. (That ignores atoms that are in the form of ions.) Different isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons. The variations in the number of neutrons make the mass of atoms different but they do not change the element nor do they change the chemical properties of the element. Some isotopes of an element can be radio-active, that is, they are unstable and can emit an alpha or beta particle or a gamma ray. As an example, carbon has 6 protons and most atoms have 6 neutrons. A few carbon atoms have 8 neutrons with a mass of 14. It is known as "Carbon 14" and is radio active. That is because the nucleus can emit a beta particle and in doing so, the atom actually changes to a nitrogen atom.
Can isotopes have positive and negative charges?
Isotopes are just the different possible nuclear weights of each element. Some are stable; some are unstable and radioactive. Since all atoms are isotopes and all isotopes are atoms, Isotopes can - and do - form ions, consequently they can have positive and negative charges.
