Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.

What element has the Same atomic number but different number of neutrons?

Almost all the elements have different isotopes having same atomic no but different mass no or neutrons.


What do you call the several different forms of an element having different atomic mass and number of neutrons?

We call these different "flavors" of an element the isotopes of that element.


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).


What is the definition of isotopes?

isotopes are atoms of the same element, having same atomic number but different atomic masses due to the difference in the number of neutrons presentIsotopes are atoms that have differing numbers of neutrons, but the same number of protons.


Can isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?

Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.


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.


How do you know the difference between isotopes and an element?

Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of electrons.


Can i say that elements of the same atoms having same atomic number but different atomic mass as isotopes?

Yes, that is correct. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons (atomic mass). This difference in neutrons results in isotopes having different atomic masses.


What is unique about an isotope?

Isotopes of an element differ from each other by having different numbers of neutrons. For example: 1H (hydrogen), 2H (deuterium), 3H (tritium) are isotopes. They have the same number of protons (1) but different numbers of neutrons (0, 1, and 2 respectively).


Is an element a pure substance made up of two kinds of atoms?

No, an element is a pure substance having a specified atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. There may be isotopes of an element having different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.


Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have?

Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons and electrons. They have the same atomic number on the periodic table but they have a different number of neutrons and so they have different mass. Isotopes of the same element can have different chemical properties.


Does the isotopes have the same protons or neutrons?

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.
