Regardless of element type, an isotope will have the same number of protons as the base element. The Atomic Mass changes due to the addition (or subtraction) of neutrons in the atom's nucleus. This in turn leads to an unstable atom and radiation.

Isotopes have the same element but different?

Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.


Which atoms that are same element and have the same number of protons but have different number of neutrons?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. An example is carbon-12 and carbon-14, which both have six protons but differ in the number of neutrons they possess.


What do isotopes and nucleus have in common?

Isotopes and nuclei are both related to atoms. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. The nucleus is the central part of an atom that contains protons and neutrons.

Which pair below describes isotopes of the same element Aan atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons - an atom with 8 protons an 6 neutrons Ban atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons - an atom with 6 p?

The pair below that describes isotopes of the same element is B, an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons-an atom with 6 protons. It is not A, an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons- an atom with 8 protons and 6 neutrons. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, which is the atomic number of the element.

The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?

The main difference between isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons, which affects their atomic mass.


Isotopes can have the same what?

Isotopes of an element have the same numbers of protons in the nucleus (and corresponding electrons). It's not so much "can have", as "do have". It's just a different number of neutrons that makes a different isotope.


What are the different numbers of neutrons called when two atoms have the same number of protons?

Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called "isotopes".


What are atoms containing the same numbers of protons and different numbers of neutrons are?

Atoms containing the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Isotopes have the same atomic number (number of protons) but differ in atomic mass due to the varying number of neutrons.
