Average Atomic Mass, or Atomic Weight of an element (the one shown on the Periodic Table).
The element with an atomic number of 100 is Fermium (Fm), which does not have any stable isotopes. Fermium is a synthetic element that is produced in nuclear reactors and has only radioactive isotopes. Stable isotopes have a balance of protons and neutrons that result in a nucleus that does not undergo radioactive decay.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different atomic masses, characterized by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Despite having different masses, isotopes share the same number of protons and electrons. Certain isotopes may be unstable, leading to radioactive decay.
An atom of an element having the same number of protons (as well as electrons) but a different number of neutrons is known as an isotope. Isotopes are often used in the nuclear power industry. An example of an industry is "heavy water" or Deuterium Oxide. It is water but with and isotope of hydrogen that has 2 extra neutrons. The isotope is called Deuterium, and heavy water is also sometimes known as D2O.
Absolutely. An element is defined by the number of protons in the atomic nucleus. For example, any nucleus with a single proton is by definition hydrogen. There are, however, three different forms of hydrogen; the kind with no neutrons (which is the most usual form), one neutron (known as deuterium) and two neutrons (known as tritium). Every element has isotopes with varying numbers of neutrons.
No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.
These are known as isotopes.
Iron is an element, and there is only one element called iron (Fe). There are no iron element(s), but if you mean isotopes, then some iron isotopes are stable, and some aren't. No known element is stable in of it's isotopes.
The known weighted-averagemass of all the naturally occurring* isotopes for an element is the atomic mass of the element.____________________*This is not the same as "all the known isotopes", becausemost elements have known isotopes that are not naturally occurring.

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. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
No - the lightest element Hydrogen has three known isotopes
they are known as isotopes. Dont ask people to do your homework
An atom or element that have different masses are known as isotopes.
Isotopes are elements that differ in the number of neutrons they have. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in their nuclei but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in varying atomic weights.
