The pair below that describes isotopes of the same element is B, an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons-an atom with 6 protons. It is not A, an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons- an atom with 8 protons and 6 neutrons. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, which is the atomic number of the element.
The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
The difference between isotopes of the same element have to do with the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of an element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass.
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.
They have the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.
All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the atomic nucleus, which is its atomic number on the periodic table. All isotopes of an element contain different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei, which causes the isotopes of an element to vary in mass number (protons + neutrons).
Isotopes are atoms of the same element, having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
All the isotopes of a chemical element have the same atomic number, number of protons and number of neutrons.
Isotopes have the same amount of protons but a different amount of neutrons.
The difference between isotopes of the same element have to do with the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of an element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass.
Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes
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.
Isotopes of an element have the same numbers of protons in the nucleus (and corresponding electrons). It's not so much "can have", as "do have". It's just a different number of neutrons that makes a different isotope.
They have the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.
All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the atomic nucleus, which is its atomic number on the periodic table. All isotopes of an element contain different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei, which causes the isotopes of an element to vary in mass number (protons + neutrons).
An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).
