An atom is made of 3 key componants, proton, neutron and electron. Different amounts of protons in the atom make it a different element, e.g carbon 12 is an element with 12 protons AND neutrons, so 6 protons and 6 neutrons. So if a proton is added to an atom, it creates a different type of atom....but.....if another Neutron is added, for example, making carbon 12-->carbon 14 by adding 2 neutrons, this makes it an isotope of carbon, as carbon would normally be found as carbon 12.
So an isotope is an atom with an unnatural amount of neutrons within it.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How do the atoms of one element differ from those of another element?
Atoms of different elements differ in their number of protons, which determines the element's identity. Each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, leading to distinct chemical properties. Differences in the number of neutrons and electrons can result in isotopes and ions of the same element.
True or false- all atoms of the same element have the same atomic number?
The expression true or false atoms is not correct. All atoms are true entities. Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons; the number of protons and electrons is constant for all the isotopes of an element.
The mass of any two atoms of the same element is always the same?
The masses of any two atoms of the same element are not always the same. Atomic mass (the mass you see on the periodic table) is just a weighted average of all of the weights of all of the different isotopes of an element.
Every balanced chemical equation each side has the same number of?
same number of each element
Do atoms of the same element differ in chemical properties?
No. Atoms of the same element have the same chemical properties.
Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons?
isotopes
What Atoms of the same element are alike and?
Atoms of the same element are alike in terms of their number of protons, which determines the element. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain, leading to different isotopes of that element.
How may atoms of the same element differ from one another?
Atoms of the same element can differ from one another in their atomic mass, which is determined by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. These variations are called isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Are atoms of the same element familiar?
yes because the atoms in the specific element have the same properties as that element. :D
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
What is a isotope apex?
Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons
What atoms of the same element differ in the number of neutrons?
They are called isotopes.
What are atoms of the same element but differ in number of neutrons?
They are called isotopes.
Is it true that all the atoms of a given element are different from each other?
No. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and, when neutral, the same number of electrons. They can, however, differ in the number of neutrons.
What is atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons but have the same number of protons?
Isotopes.
All Atoms Of An Element Are Exactly?
All atoms of the same element are not identical. The atoms of same element with different number of neutrons are called as isotopes. Although, the number of protons and electrons are same in every atom.
