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 two elements have same atomic number?
atomic massAll atoms of the same element have the same number of protons . So they all have the same atomic mass(provided they are the same isotope) . Different elements will have different numbers of protons, so therefore different atomic numbers.
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.
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.
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 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.
What is The same as the element's atomic number?
The elements atomic number is the same as or provides the number of the protons and electrons in the atom.
If the atomic number of 4 different elements is 102 what does itmean?
Atomic number is unique. It cannot be same for different elements.
Do sulfur-36 and argon-36 have the same atomic number?
No, they have the same atomic mass, which is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. No two elements have the same atomic number.
Can atoms of the same element differ in atomic number?
no. elements are defined by their atomic number (the number of protons).
Do different elements have the same atomic number?
No, each atomic number is unique to a single element.
What happens to the atomic number and the number of protons?
They are the same
No two elements will have the what atomic number?
"same" fits.
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.
