Can two elements have same atomic number?
No, two elements cannot have the same atomic number. The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus, which is unique to each element. Therefore, elements with different atomic numbers will have different numbers of protons and thus different chemical properties.
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).
Can an atom of two different elements have the same mass number?
Yes. The mass number is basic to the different elements, even more useful than the atomic number. (Unless it is an isotope. Isotopes have a different amount of neutrons than the basic element atom which makes a difference in mass number too. So, a difference in mass numbers doesn't always mean it is a different element.)
What is the significance of the atomic number of an element?
All elements have protons and electrons. All but hydrogen have neutrons. All elements have isotopes which vary in neutrons but have the same amount of protons as the original element. Different elements never have the same amount of protons so scientists gave these elements their "atomic number" based on the amount of protons the element has. atomic number = amount of protons.
How do isotopes differ and why is the atomic number of elements not a whole number?
Isotopes differ from each other by having different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons since they are only the same element if they have the same number of protons. Atomic numbers aren't whole because their mass is based of the mass of hydrogen and amu's (atomic mass units) and due to how elements are formed, minute amounts of mass are lost in order to form the nuclear bonds resulting in not whole numbers.
What is the number of protons in an elements nucleus?
The same as its atomic number.
What do elements have the same number of?
Elements have the same number of protons in each atomic nucleus.
How atomic number better than atomic mass?
No two elements may have the same atomic number. But two elements may have same atomic mass. Hence atomic number is better than atomic mass.
What same elements have the same atomic number?
though your question is unclear, each element has its own atomic number. every sample of Sulfur (S) that exists has the atomic number of 16. No different elements share the same atomic number.
If the atomic number of 4 different elements is 102 what does itmean?
Atomic number is unique. It cannot be same for different elements.
What happens to the atomic number and the number of protons?
They are the same
Can atoms of the same element differ in atomic number?
no. elements are defined by their atomic number (the number of protons).
No two elements will have the what atomic number?
No two elements will have the same atomic number because the atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Since each element has a unique number of protons, each element will have a unique atomic number.
Do different elements have the same atomic number?
No, each atomic number is unique to a single element.
Elements across a series have same number of?
Elements across a series have the same number of attributes or characteristics.
How do you find the number of protons in an elements nucleus?
The number of protons in an elements nucleus is the same number at the atomic number.
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)
