The number of protons determines the atomic number of an element. The number of protons and neutrons determines the mass number. The number of electrons determine it's electrical charge. So, in an isotope, normally the only thing that changes is the number of neutrons and it's mass number. The answer to your question, as I understand it, is no.

How do the number of electrons compare in two isotopes in an element?

In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Isotopes of the same element also have the same number of electrons and the electronic structure.


Would isotopes of the same element have the same number of electrons?

Yea because isotopes only differ in their # of neutrons, not electrons


Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of electrons?

Isotopes have the same number of protons an electrons; the number of neutrons is different.


What is the same about isotopes of the same elements?

The isotopes of the same element have an identical number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.


Which is not true all isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons?

All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.


Isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties because they have the same number of?

...electrons.Isotopes contain the same number of protons (hence, the same number of electrons) and electrons are what determine reactivity. 2nd answer : The isotopes have the same chemical properties because the electronic configuration of an element is same there fore isotopes posses the same chemical properties .


How are the isotopes of carbon the same and how are they different?

All isotopes of carbon have the same number of protons and electrons; but they have a different number of neutrons.


What do different isotopes of the same atom have?

Two different isotopes of the same atoms have the same number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.


Do the atomic number of isotopes differ?

No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.


Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of?

protons and electrons


Do all isotopes of an elements have different numbers of electrons?

No, all isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (which determines the element's identity) and therefore the same number of electrons in a neutral atom. Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they contain.


How are isotopes tha same and how are they different?

All the isotopes of a chemical element have the same number of protons and electrons but the number of neutrons is different.
