When are substances isotopes?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element but having a different number of neutrons.


Are electrolytes isotopes?

Electrolytes are substances able to be dissociated in solution or after melting.Isotopes are atoms of chemical elements; isotopes have different number of neutrons.


Which has more isotopes neon -10 or neon-12?

Neon has the atomic number 10 which means it has 10 protons, it cannot have 12. Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. There are three stable isotopes of neon.


What term would you use to classify the two substances of how their atomic mass and atomic number?

They are isotopes.


What atoms with same atomic number but different atomic masses?

Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons (same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, leading to different atomic masses. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon with atomic number 6 but atomic masses of 12 and 14 respectively.


What is the name of a carbon isotopes that has a mass number of 12?

The isotope is named "carbon-12".


Does Butane have isotopes?

Yes, butane does have isotopes. The most common isotopes of butane are carbon-12 and carbon-13. Isotopes of butane can have varying masses due to differences in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.


Is the number of carbon 14 isotopes much greater than the number of carbon 12 isotopesin a normal sample of carbon?

No. The only mass numbers of carbon isotopes that occur naturally are 12 and 13, and the number of atoms with mass number 12 is much greater than the number of atoms with mass number 13 in any carbon from natural sources. Carbon-14 exists at all only in carbon including man-made isotopes.


True or false two isotopes of carbon are carbon-12 and carbon-14 theese isotopes differ from one another by two ELECTRONS?

False. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon that differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei, not electrons. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of electrons in an atom is determined by its atomic number, which is the same for both isotopes of carbon (6 electrons).


Two isotopes of the element rubidium differ in their number of protons?

This statement is incorrect. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in their number of neutrons. Rubidium, specifically, has two stable isotopes: Rb-85 and Rb-87, which both have 37 protons but different numbers of neutrons.


Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?

Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.


What can you infer about two substances that have the same atomic number but different atomic masses. what term would you use to classify these two substances?

They are isotopes. They are the same element with a different amount of nuetrons, which can be determined depending upon the atomic mass and the atomic number, which results in the changed atomic mass.
