The term isotope is used to indicate the different varieties of a single element, based upon variations in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Every atom can be described as an isotope if we specify the number of neutrons. And every atom can lose electrons (a process officially called ionization). There is no relation between the number of neutrons and the loss 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.
These particles are electrons.
There are 2 valence electrons in Actinium.
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons and electrons but differ in the number of neutrons. For example, carbon-12 has 6 protons and 6 electrons, with 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 6 protons and 6 electrons, but with 8 neutrons. Therefore, the number of protons and electrons remains consistent between isotopes, while the neutron count varies.
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).
When atoms lose electrons cations are produced.
2 electrons. He-4 and He-3 are the two most occuring isotopes.
Isotopes differ by the number of protons.
Yea because isotopes only differ in their # of neutrons, not electrons
No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.
eight electrons
All the isotopes of sulfur has 16 electrons.
The number of electrons in isotopes is identical.
Protons and Electrons
Isotopes have the same number of protons an electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
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.
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.
