Isotopes aren't mutually exclusive of an atom - that is, you don't have to be one or the other (in fact, it is both).
An isotope of an atom is an atom that has an unusual atomic weight, usually caused by having a non-regular amount of neutrons (they don't change the charge, so you can shove as many in an atom as you want, within limits).
What else can I help you with?
The modern model of the atom shows that electrons are?
found in regions called orbitals
How does SPECT work?
SPECT produces images of the target region by detecting the presence and location of a radioactive isotope. The photon emissions of the radioactive compound containing the isotope can be detected in a manner that is similar to the detection of x rays.
What does the atomic number of an atom reveal bout its composition?
it tells you the amount of electrons the atom has orbitting the atom and the nucleus
Ability of an atom to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound?
Electronegativity
What is an Atom's Atomic number?
it shows how many protons are present in an atom
What is the same and what is the different for an isotope compared to an atom?
An isotope will have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons than a given atom.
Different forms of the same atom?
Isotope
What make an atom an isotope?
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
Why can an atom have the same number of neutrons and still be an isotope?
an isotope is defined by an atom with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons
Atom of an element with different number of neutrons?
Isotope
How are an atom an element and an isotope different from each other?
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
What is it called when the atom of an element has a different number of protons?
an isotope.
How is a isotope of an atom different than a non isotope?
An isotope is where an atom has a different number of neutrons than what it should be.e.g.Gold has 79 protons and 118 neutrons = 197 nucleons.But some gold atoms are strange they only have 117 neutrons.They are isotopes.
What is the term for an atom that contains a different number of electrons and protons?
An isotope.
What do you call an atom of the same element that has a different number of netrons?
an isotope
Are beryllium atoms identical?
Each atom of an isotope of beryllium (or of another element) is different from the atoms of an other isotope. But all the atoms of an isotope are identical.
