Can atoms of different elements have the same number of protons be from the same element?
No. Each type of atom (element) has its own unique number of protons, which is called the atomic number. Atoms of the same element will always have the same atomic number (number of protons). Atoms of different elements will never have the same atomic number (number of protons).
What does an element's atomic number tell us?
An element's atomic number tells us the number of protons in an atom of that element. It is used to uniquely identify the element and determine its placement on the periodic table. The atomic number also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.
What is the atomic number also equal to?
The atomic number is equal to the protons and electrons of an element.
How does the atomic number identify the atoms of a particular element?
The atomic number of an element is unique to that element. The atomic number is equal to the amount of electrons in one atom of that element. As each element categorically has it's own amount of electrons, you can identify an element from this number.
What is the relationship between mass number and atomic numbers?
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus, while the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. The atomic number uniquely identifies an element, while the mass number helps determine the atom's mass.
Do all atoms of any one element have the same atomic number?
An atomic number is actually related to an element and not an atom. Therefore, the question is not relevant. It is NOT atoms that have an atomic number; it is the element.
What is the atom that tells the number of protons in the nucleus of every atom of an element?
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms. Each element has a unique atomic number.
What does the atomic number of an element say about the number of particles in atoms of that element?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom.
What is responsible for the atomic number?
The number of protons in an atom is its atomic number and it is the basic identity of the atoms of an element.
What are the atomic number of an element in a particle?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines an element's atomic number. In other words, each element has a unique number that identifies how many protons are in one atom of that element. For example, all hydrogen atoms, and only hydrogen atoms, contain one proton and have an atomic number of 1. All carbon atoms, and only carbon atoms, contain six protons and have an atomic number of 6. Oxygen atoms contain 8 protons and have an atomic number of 8. The atomic number of an element never changes, meaning that the number of protons in the nucleus of every atom in an element is always the same.
Form a atomic number of 15 atoms?
Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, not the number of atoms. The element with the atomic number 15 is phosphorus.
What is the name of number of protons in the atoms of an element?
The number of protons in an atom is its atomic number.
What is the number of atoms in an element?
The number of atoms in an element depends on WHAT element AND how much of that element.
Does the number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atoms?
Yes, the number of protons in an atom of an element determines the element's identity. It determines the element's atomic number, which is unique for each element.
The atomic number determines the what?
The number of protons.
What is an atomic number and a mass number?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. This number is fixed and determines what element that atom is. The atomic mass is the mass of an atom and is roughly equivalent to the number of protons plus the average number of neutrons that atoms of that particular element.
What are the atomic numbers and atomic mass?
Atomic Number :- atomic number of an element is the number of protons present in the nucleus of the atom. (since atoms are electrically neutral the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in an atom) Atomic Mass :- atomic mass of an element is the number which tells us how many times an atom of that element is heavier than an atom of hydrogen (whose atomic weight is taken as unity [1])
