Nothing's wrong, except that it means elements X and Y are in fact the same element, if their atoms have the same number of electrons.

---------

A more clear, correct and short answer: a neutral atom of an element can be isoelectronic only with an ionized atom of another element.

How atoms of different element differ in their atomic structure?

This may be wrong, I'm not a expert in elements. But here's what I know: A element's atom has a specific number of protons in the nucleus. If you change the number of protons, you change the element. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm only in 5th grade.


How many carbon atoms are in a molecule of table sugar (C12H22O11)?

12


How many potassium atoms and how many oxygen atoms are there in binary compound made from these two element?

A compound containing potassium and oxygen atoms would have a formula of K2O, and would be named potassium oxide. This is a binary ionic compound.


What would be the empirical formula of hexane C5H14?

The formula given is already the empirical formula, because its two subscripts, 5 and 14, do not have any common whole number factors except 1. - - - - - {Another contributor wrote: "That's true, but hexane is C6H14 - and there are still no common whole number factors." This comment is wrong, because 2 is a common factor of 6 and 14.} ------- The _chemical formula_ for hexane is C6H14. (This formula indicates the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of any of the _isomers_ of hexane.) The ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms in one molecule of hexane is 1:2. Therefore, the _empirical formula_ for hexane is CH2. Please see the links.


What part of Dalton's theory of was disproved when scientists discovered that atoms contain protons electrons and neutrons?

John Dalton believed that atoms were the fundamental building blocks of matter, and that they could not be created, destroyed or split. However he was wrong, because atoms are made out of subatomic particles such as Protons, Neutrons and Electrons - and later still, it was discovered Protons and Neutrons too are made of even smaller particles.

What is wrong with the statement ''the atoms of element X are isoelectronic with the atoms of element Y?

The statement is incorrect because isoelectronic means having the same number of electrons, but atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons and electrons. Elements X and Y can have the same number of electrons in their ions, but not in their neutral atoms.

What type of atoms are in electromagnetic waves?

EM waves are not made out of atoms -- they come in "chunks" called photons. But photons and atoms are completely different things. The statement, "light is composed of many atoms" is almost completely wrong.


Which parts of Daltons theory were later found to be erroneous?

Dalton's theory mistakenly proposed that atoms were indivisible and that all atoms of a given element were identical in size, mass, and other properties. However, we now know that atoms can be further subdivided into protons, neutrons, and electrons, and that isotopes exist with variations in mass.


What did John Dalton get wrong?

Thse affirmations are not considered valid today:· All atoms of a given element are identical. · A given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms.


What does a roman numeral tell you when it is written after an element?

I think it means how many atoms is in the element im not quite sure if im right or wrong it's just a guess off the top of my head.


What is a contradiction of a statement?

A contradiction of a statement is a statement that proves the previous statement wrong.


What are five points of Daltons atomic theory and witch where proven wrong?

Dalton's atomic theory includes the following five points: 1) All matter is composed of indivisible atoms; 2) Atoms of the same element are identical in mass and properties; 3) Compounds are formed by the combination of different kinds of atoms; 4) A chemical reaction involves the rearrangement of atoms; 5) Atoms cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. However, points one and two were proven wrong; atoms are not indivisible (they can be split into subatomic particles) and isotopes show that atoms of the same element can have different masses.


Is wrong a final statement?

no


Is every atom in the world is exactly the same?

"No. There are just over 100 different types of atoms that can currently be found or made." wrong... atom is unique. atom is the smallest thing u can ever get to . this is occupied in all substances in the world.
