There are no known stable isotopes of the element with an atomic number of a 56 B 38 C100 D 20?

Element 20 is Tin. Element 38 is Strontium. Element 56 is is Barium. Element 100 Fermium. Fermium is artificially created, and has no stable isotopes. In general, there are no stable isotopes heavier than Bismuth (element 83).

What are atoms called if they have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?

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.


Can the number of neutrons for an element ever differ?

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.

Are iron elements stable?

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.

No - the lightest element Hydrogen has three known 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).
