What element has the atomic number for 3.14?
No element has this atomic number. All atomic numbers are whole numbers.
Which isotopes of uncharged elements have different numbers?
The isotopes of the same element has the same atomic number. But the mass number (atomic mass) is different.
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to the number of protons or neutrons or electrons in the nucleus?
No, atomic number equals the number of protons.The number of neutrons is NOT specific to an element, and various atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons - these are called isotopes.
How many isotopes does phosphorus?
Have different atomic mass (have different numbers of neutrons)
What is atomic numbers?
Atomic numbers are the number of protons and electrons in a atom.
Atoms that have the same atomic numbers but different atomic weights are called what?
If they have the same atomic number but different mass, then they have a different number of neutrons, and they are called ISOTOPES.
Why atomic number of different elements are different?
Because different elements have different numbers of protons, which determines the atomic number.
What is it called when atoms of the same element that have a different atomic weight?
Atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons), but different mass numbers (i.e. different mass) are called isotopes. The difference in mass is due to different numbers of neutrons. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope
Do isotopes of an element have the same atomic mass but different atomic number?
The different mass numbers are due to different numbers of neutrons.
Form of an element having different atomic and number of neutrons?
Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
What does it mean if two atoms are isotopes?
If two atoms are isotopes, it means they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Thus, they have the same atomic numbers, but different atomic masses.
What is the difference between isobar and isotope?
isobars are elements with same mass numbers (Atomic Mass) and different atomic number (number of proton or electron)
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 is the total of numbers of an atom called?
atomic number
Do isotopes have the same atomic number and different mass numbers?
Yes. Isotopes have the same atomic number because all of their atoms have the same number of protons. They have different mass numbers because their atoms have different numbers of neutrons, and mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons.
What are the big numbers called on the periodic table?
The big numbers are atomic numbers. They are equal to number of protons. Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
How can different atoms of the same element have the same atomic number but can have different mass numbers?
They have different numbers of neutrons.
