What is a normal atom?
Its a normal atom if it have same protons, neutrons, and electrons to the one of the periodic table. If it have more or less neutrons than normal then its an isotope. If it have more protons than electrons then its a positive ion. If it have more electrons than protons then its a negative ion. An ion its a charged atom, more or less electrons than " normal " Isotopes its an atoms with the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons.
How are isotopes and the number of electrons related?
Before we tackle isotopes and neutrons, lets talk about protons. The number of protons in an atom determines the elemental identity of the atom. Only that. Now to the question. Atoms of a given element have a specific number of protons in the nucleus, but can have a modest variety of numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. Let's look at hydrogen. Hydrogen is identified by the fact that there is a single proton in the nucleus. Most hydrogen is just that. But some hydrogen has a neutron stuck to the one proton in the nucleus. This creates another "flavor" of hydrogen. It's another isotope of hydrogen. We have the original isotope of hydrogen (with one proton and no neutron) and the isotope with the one proton and one neutron. Now we look at the last and most unusual isotope of hydrogen. It has the one proton and two neutrons. Hydrogen has three isotopes, and each has the same number of protons (each isotope is hydrogen) and each has a different number of neutrons: zero, one and two. Heavier elements have varying numbers of neutrons in combinations with there protons. This creates a number of different isotopes for each and every element. It is the variable numbers of neutrons that can hang out with the protons in a given element's nucleus that give rise to the different isotopes of that element. Our friends at Wikipedia have some details. A link is provided.
Do all isotopes have whole number atomic masses?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is that isotopes have different numbers of neutrons than other isotopes of the same element, so when expressing the mass of an isotope, you don't take an average; you just add the number of neutrons and the number of protons. However, that number is not entirely accurate since the mass of a proton and a neutron are very slightly different. So, if you want to be very exact, then no, the mass of an isotope is not a whole number, but it is very, very close.
What odor is lanthanum?
lanthanum is a element on the perodic table ...
Frequency of specific elements always the same?
In a stable isotope, the frequency of specific elements remains consistent under normal conditions due to the presence of a constant number of protons, electrons, and neutrons within the atoms. This stability ensures that the relative abundance of isotopes of an element does not change without external influences.
What is an atom with more or fewer neutrons than atoms of the same element?
An atom of a certain element with a different number of neutrons compared with the common form of the element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but a different number of neutrons (which means that they have a different atomic mass number).
What is an aton with a different mass number than normal?
An isotope of the element. The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
What is unique about an isotope?
Isotopes of an element differ from each other by having different numbers of neutrons. For example: 1H (hydrogen), 2H (deuterium), 3H (tritium) are isotopes. They have the same number of protons (1) but different numbers of neutrons (0, 1, and 2 respectively).
Where do you find the isotopes in an atom?
Isotopes are found in the nucleus of an atom. They are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The different isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties but different physical properties.
How are normal elements differ from an isotope of the element?
Normal elements have a specific number of protons in the nucleus, while isotopes have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties, but different physical properties such as atomic mass.
What does not have the normal number of neutrons?
an atom of an element that does not the comman number of electrons is an isotope. for example cabon-12(has 12 neutrons) is a very common element but carbon-14(has 14 neutrons) is much rarer
Is 2 protons 2 neutrons and 2 electrons normal?
It is normal for the isotope of the element helium. 2He4 isotope has 2 protons, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons.
What are atoms with nuclei that contain the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons called?
An atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.If the element loses/gains a proton, then the element changes, but a different number of neutrons simply changes the isotope of the element in question. For instance:Nitrogen-14 (atomic mass 14, normal Nitrogen) has 7 protons, electrons, and neutrons. If we add a proton and an electron, then it changes to Oxygen-15, which is unstable, and therefore radioactive. However, if we add a neutron to our Nitrogen-14, it becomes Nitrogen-15, which just happens to be a stable isotope (and in fact makes up 0.37% of the Nitrogen in the air).Finally, if we add a Proton/Electron and a neutron to Nitrogen-14, we get Oxygen-16, which unlike Oxygen-15, is perfectly stable (and it better be, as Oxygen-16 makes up about 99% of the Oxygen we need to survive).
What are atoms with the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons called?
Isotopes have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Different isotopes of a single element are on the same position on the periodic table of elements. The existence of isotopes was first suggested in 1913 by a radiochemist named Frederick Soddy.
Do isotopes have a nucleus?
Yes. Isotopes are simply normal elements with a different number of constituent neutrons in their nucleus. All isotopes have a nucleus with an identical number of protons to its element.
Is Isotope mass a whole number?
yes,because in isotopes neutrons differ from normal element.
What is an isotope how does it differ from the standard of an element?
First: isotopes are not 'special' forms of elements, they are just (normal) elements.Isotopes of one element are only different nuclear configurations of that same element, which varies only in the number of neutrons present: thus only their mass is different.Since mass is not a chemical property, isotopes are chemically speaking identical and that's why they are on the 'same spot' in the (chemical) Periodic Table: 'iso' = same, 'topos' = place.
