Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses?

Yes. An element is defined by its atomic number, the number, or the number of protons in its nucleus. When an atom has more or less neutrons it is still the same element, but a different isotope of that element.

Atoms of the same element with different atomic masses?
what is an atom of the same element with different mass numbers
What are atoms of the same element thay have different atomic masses?
when you have two different forms of an atom with different masses, it's called an isotope of the atom.
Which term describes atoms with different atomic masses due to varying numbers of neutrons?
Isotopes (Pretty Sure)
What differentiates an isotope of an element from any other atom of that element?
Isotopes are species of atoms having same atomic no. but different atomic masses. So an isotope has either lesser or more neutrons than the usual atom of the element ( often called the most abundant isotope).
What atoms has different masses but the same atomic number?
they're called isotopes.
Isotopes of the same element have different .?
atomic masses
What do you call atoms of the same element with different atomic masses?
They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.
Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.
What atoms with same atomic number but different atomic masses?
Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons (atomic number) but differ in number of neutrons (hence atomic masses).
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a different number of .?
Masses.
What is the term for an atom of the same element that has different atomic masses?
Atomsof the same element that have different atomic massesare isotopes of one another.
What is the name for atoms of an element that have different masses?
An atom or element that have different masses are known as isotopes.
How do the decimal places on the atomic masses of elements realate to isotopes?
The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of masses of the isotopes of the element, weighted in proportion to their abundance.
What do you called in an element having the same atomic number but different atomic masses?
Isotopes. eg U235 and U238. Both Uranium, atomic number 92, bur different isotopes.
The various atomic weights of the same element are called?
Atoms of the same element with different atomic masses are known as isotopes. Isotopes differ only by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the isotopes. The number of protons is the same for all isotopes of an element (because if there were different numbers of protons, then the atoms would not be of the same element).
Isotopes are forms of the same element that differ in what?
Yes, isotopes of an element are the same element but with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus and thus different atomic masses.
Why is an element's atomic mess not listed as a whole number on the periodic?
Because it is an average of the masses of the isotopes of the element, each of which has a different atomic mass (not mess!)
