What you mean when you say that a particular element consists of several isotopes?
All atoms of the same element contain the same number of protons and electrons, but atoms of a given element may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. An element has many isotopes--each with a close, but different number of neutrons.

Why are molar masses not a whole number?
Molar masses are not whole numbers because they are calculated based on the average mass of isotopes present in a sample, taking into account the abundance of each isotope. Isotopes are elements with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to fractional atomic masses and consequently non-whole molar masses.
What is the decay element of uranium?
It is not yet discovered since all of the uranium isotopes are having half life for several millions of years. We would be able to find it after atleast 700 millions of years.
What is a sample of matter that is either a single element or single compound?
Not very much matter is made up of only one kind of atom. Graphite in pencil leads is a popular one, but most matter is made up of several kinds of atoms.
Is carbon a mixture or substance?
Carbon monoxide is a compound composed of the two elements carbon and oxygen.
Is bromine an anion or cation?
Normally, bromine forms an anion, because it gains one electron to have a full octet, and is then negative. (Br1-) However, bromine can from a cation, as is the case when using N-bromosuccinimide (Br+ is given off).
Explain what we mean when we say that a particular element has several isotopes?
May be alien
What do you call the several different forms of an element having different atomic mass and number of neutrons?
We call these different "flavors" of an element the isotopes of that element.
W is an isotope?
No, W (tungsten) is an element. It has several isotopes.
What element has 40 nucleon?
An element with 40 nucleons has a mass number of 40, which can correspond to several isotopes. The most common element with 40 nucleons is calcium (Ca), which has an atomic number of 20 and typically consists of 20 protons and 20 neutrons. However, other isotopes with 20 protons and varying numbers of neutrons could also have a mass number of 40.
Is bromine an isotope ion or atom?
Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.
What is a plutonium?
A radioactive element with several isotopes that always has 94 protons within its nucleus.
Is bromine isotope or ion or neutral atom?
Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.
Do all isotopes only occur in heavier elements?
No, isotopes of light elements exist as well. For example, there are several isotopes of the lightest element, hydrogen.No, even the lightest element (hydrogen (H)) has isotopes. These are called Deuterium and Tritium.All elements have isotopes but some of them are very unstable and have disappeared in nature over time.
What is an element and what is a compound?
Element consists of a single type of atom (i.e. consists of atoms with the same number of protons). Compounds are made of several different atoms.
How can you tell if elements are isotopes when looking at several nuclear symbols of the same element?
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. When looking at several nuclear symbols of the same element, if the number of protons (atomic number) remains the same but the mass number changes, then the elements are isotopes of one another. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
What is the density of palladium 106?
Palladium consists of several isotopes. The density of a naturally occurring sample, which is a mixture of isotopes is 12.02 g/cm3. I have no reference material for individual isotopes. There is a book called the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics which may have this information.
What element is used in nuclear fuel?
The question should not be, what element, but what isotope. Several easily fissible isotopes are used, such as Uranium-235. But note that the element Uranium as such is not usable - only that specific isotope.
