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?
Because chlorine (like almost every other element) exists as several isotopes. The molar mass reflects the combined weight and proportion of each of those isotopes.
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.
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).
Is carbon organic?
Carbon is a non-metallic element, exhibiting several isotopes and allotropes. However, there is a very large branch of Chemistry researching into the chemistry of carbon containing compounds, These compounds are referred to as organic compounds, and organic chemistry.
Is carbon a mixture or substance?
Carbon monoxide is a compound composed of the two elements carbon and oxygen.
Explain what we mean when we say that a particular element has several isotopes?

W is an isotope?
No, W (tungsten) is an element. It 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.
Is bromine an isotope ion or atom?
Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.
Is bromine isotope or ion or neutral 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.
How can you find the number of neutrons an element t has?
One quick way to find that out is to open the Wikipedia and type "Isotopes of Carbon", "Isotopes of Uranium", or whatever element you are interested in. Please note that each element has several different isotopes; the number of neutrons varies from one isotope to another.
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.
Why are molar masses not a whole number?
Because chlorine (like almost every other element) exists as several isotopes. The molar mass reflects the combined weight and proportion of each of those isotopes.
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?
You must check the mass number (A) - its place in the element's symbol (E) is: AE If A is different in the showed elements that means the these are different isotopes.
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.
