Many elements have different isotopes: 1) Carbon - Carbon 12, Carbon 14 2) Hydrogen - Protium, Deuterium, Tritium 3) Chlorine - Chlorine 35, Chlorine 37 etc
Dear questioner,As an answer to your question I should mention there are atoms which have the same number of protons but are considered different. These atoms are called Isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but the number of Neutrons are not the same. Isotopes have the same chemical virtues but in the physical virtues related to mass they are a bit different.
Mostly COHN : carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen. Everything else is just trace elements.
Atoms form millions of molecules
The chemical nature of an element is determined (mainly) by the electronic configuration in the outermost shells. However, most elements have isotopes - atomic configurations that have the same outer shells, but which may have a different number of neutrons in the atom core. This gives them the same chemical nature, but a different mass. Many isotopes are unstable in the long run - they will spontaneously disintegrate.
It is the unstable isotopes of elements that decay over time. All elements have an isotope or isotopes that are unstable and will decay over time. (These isotopes will be either naturally occurring or will be synthetic.) Some isotopes of some elements, however, are stable, and they will not undergo radioactive decay.To discover what's what, we have to do some homework, and what better place to start than the table of nuclides? It lists all the elemets, and all the isotopes of each element. Further, it tells us which ones are stable, which are unstable, and will also help us determine the decay mode of the unstable nuclides.
Isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of neutrons.
elements are isotopes, when different atoms of the same element have different number of neutrons
Isotopes of elements are atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This causes isotopes of the same element to have different atomic masses. Isotopes can be stable or unstable, with unstable isotopes undergoing radioactive decay.
Since you have isotopes of elements. Isotopes are elements with different number of neutrons hence why the different atomic masses for the same elements.
Yes, it is true.
Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they possess.
The atomic number of the isotopes of an element is identical; the mass number is different.
nuetrons
Because of the difference in mass number. Isotopes must have different numbers of neutrons.
Elements can exist in the form of different isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in their nuclei but have different numbers of neutrons. The first gives them the same atomic number and chemical properties while the second gives them different atomic weights.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, while naturally occurring elements refer to all atoms of a particular element found in nature. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different atomic masses, whereas naturally occurring elements have consistent atomic masses based on the average of all isotopes present.
They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.
