They can vary in neutron count, which would also change the Atomic Mass.
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.
Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons
Two different neutral isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which determines the element's identity. The isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they have, which leads to variations in atomic mass but not in chemical properties.
Primarily, isotopes differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Secondarily, because some combinations of protons and neutrons produce an unstable nucleus, they may differ by being radioactive.
In any element, all atoms are identical in terms of their number of protons in the nucleus, which determines the element's identity. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons, resulting in isotopes.
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
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.
No. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and, when neutral, the same number of electrons. They can, however, differ in the number of neutrons.
No, the isotopes of a single element differ in the no. of neutrons
isotopes
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.
The element with neutral atoms containing ten neutrons is neon. Neon has an atomic number of 10, so it always has 10 protons and 10 electrons.
Yes, isotopes of the same element would have differed numbers of neutrons.
They are called isotopes.
Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons
They are called isotopes.
Atoms of the same element can differ from one another in their atomic mass, which is determined by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. These variations are called isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
