Yes, such atoms are isotopes of that element. Elements have a unique number of protons, but may occur in several isotopes having different numbers of neutrons. Hydrogen (atomic number 1) always has 1 proton. It usually has no neutrons and an atomic weight near 1, but also occurs with 1 neutron and an atomic weight near 2 called deuterium, as well as occurring with 2 neutrons and an atomic weight near 3 called tritium. Some periodic tables list the most common isotopes and their relative abundance. The atomic weight listed for an element is usually the weighted average of its isotopes rather than the weight of any single isotope.
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
yes
The number of neutrons present in atoms of an element may differ. Atoms of an element which have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. These differ in mass but have the same chemistry.All of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are the same.
No, they can't. Atoms (be careful of the difference between atoms and ions) can only have different numbers of neutrons, and those are called isotopes.
Isotopes, which are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. This leads to variations in atomic mass for isotopes of the same element.
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Mixtures, on the other hand, are combinations of different substances that are physically mixed together, but not chemically bonded.
No - different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. All atoms of an element will have the same number of protons.
yes
yes
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons, which results in different isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons.
They have different numbers of neutrons.
