What are elements called that exist in different forms?

If they are in different physical form they are ALLOTROPES. If they are in different atomic form they are ISOTOPES. e.g. Allotropes [ Graphite, diamond and buckyballs* buckminster Fullerene) are allotropes of carbon. They appear different because the arrangment of the atomis is different. Isotopes Carbon 12 , Carbon-13, Carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon , because they have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.


Are there any allotropes or isotopes of radium?

1. Radium has 45 isotopes and nuclear isomers. 2. Radium has no known today allotropes.


What are allotropes Give an example How are allotropes different from isotopes?

Allotropes are the different forms of a compound. For example iron has 3 well known allotropes: alpha iron (α) a.k.a. ferrite, gamma iron (γ) a.k.a. austenite, and delta iron (δ). They form depending on temperature and pressure the iron goes to. Another example is diamond and graphite which are both allotropes of carbon.


What do isotopes allotropes and isomers have in common?

They are all forms of a given chemical element. Example for sulfur: - S6, S7, S7, S7, S12, S18, etc. are allotropes of sulfur; but the atomic number (number of protons and electrons) of the sulfur atoms is the same. - sulfur has natural or artificial isotopes; but the atomic number (number of protons and electrons) of the sulfur isotopes is the same. - an isomer is 43mS; but the atomic number (number of protons and electrons) of this sulfur isomer atoms is the same as for other isotopes.


What are atoms of the same element with different numbers neutrons called?

'ISOTOPES'. The definitive statement is ' Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons'. NB Do NOT confuse with 'Allotropes' . Allotropes of the same element exhibit different physical characteristics. The elements Sulphur and Phosphorus are the two classic examples of allotropes.

What is the name for different forms of the same element?

ALLOTROPES are forms of an element where the atoms are arranged in different shapes and so they have different properties. The allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite and buckyballs. Phosphorus has several allotropes (including white phosphorus and red phosphorus). Sulphur also has several allotropes. An alternative answer to the question is different atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses are called ISOTOPES.


What elements are different forms of the same element but with different molecular structures?

Allotropes

What are the different forms o fan element in the same physical state but with different structures and properties called?

In that case, scientists talk about different "allotropes". For example, graphite and diamond are different varieties of carbon - the same atoms, in a different arrangement.


Are oxygen and ozone are isotopes if not what are they?

No, they are different forms of the same element, so they are allotropes. Oxygen contains two atoms per molecule and ozone contains three atoms per molecule. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, such as oxygen-16 and oxygen-17.


Different forms of the same element?

Allotropes-different forms of the same element ex. diamond and graphite for carbon different arrangement of the atoms Actually it is diamond, charcoal, and GRAPHITE... Not carbon


Name three different allotropes of carbon?

The three different allotropes of carbon are: -Diamond-Graphite-Buckminsterfullerene


Allotropes have different what?

Allotropes are versions of the same element or compound with a different molecular structure.
