Isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons than normally expected. If you add one neutron, you will also add one a.m.u.

How do the atomic number of the different isotopes an element compare?

The atomic number is the same for the all isotopes of a chemical element.


Isotopes of an element have a different number of?

neutrons


Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?

Yes, isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This is why the atomic mass on the periodic table is often listed as a range for an element.


How do the atomic mass numbers of different isotopes of an element compare?

The different isotopes have different atomic mass numbers, because the isotope has different numbers of neutrons. The protons and electrons are the same, so the change in mass number is the same as the change in the number of neutrons.


Why are the atomic mass numbers of an element not hole numbers?

Its the average of the weight of the different isotopes of that element.


What is the average of the mass numbers of isotopes of an element?

the atomic mass


What is a similarity and a difference between isotopes of an element?

All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the atomic nucleus, which is its atomic number on the periodic table. All isotopes of an element contain different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei, which causes the isotopes of an element to vary in mass number (protons + neutrons).


Isotopes are atoms of the same element that different numbers of?

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.


The various atomic weights of the same element are called?

Atoms of the same element with different atomic masses are known as isotopes. Isotopes differ only by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the isotopes. The number of protons is the same for all isotopes of an element (because if there were different numbers of protons, then the atoms would not be of the same element).


Are the Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and?

The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.


Isotopes of the same element have differnt?

Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. This results in isotopes having slightly different atomic masses while maintaining the same number of protons (which determines the element's identity).
