By changing the number of neuturons the atom is converted into isotope. As we know the atom is made up of electrons(negative charge),protons(positive charge) and neutrons(no charge),when we change number of electrons in an atom ions are created in the same way change in number of protons create change in the identity of atom and change in neutrons results isotopes
What else can I help you with?
How can the researcher change one isotope into a different isotope of the same element?
By striking it with neutrons.
How does an isotope of an element change during nuclear decay?
During nuclear decay, an isotope of an element changes by emitting radiation, such as alpha or beta particles, or gamma rays. This process results in the isotope transforming into a different element or a different isotope of the same element. The change is necessary to achieve a more stable configuration, typically by adjusting the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
What does the isotope of an element have?
An isotope of an element has a different number of Neutrons to the original element it came from. EG: Carbon( 11 neurtons) can go to carbon(12 Neutrons(
What are different forms of a single element?
Isotope.

If the number of neutrons in an atom is changed does the atom become a new element Why or why not?
Changing the number of neutrons in an atom does not change the element it belongs to because the element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Changing the number of neutrons would result in an isotope of the same element, not a new element.

An element with a number of neutrons different from its normal number is called a what?
It is called an isotope.
What are different forms of a single element?
Isotope.
When an unstable isotope produces a particle and energy it can change the number of protons in the nucleus. This creates?
nuclei of a different element due to the change in the number of protons. This process is known as nuclear transmutation.
What is the only particle that can change in number for an isotope?
The Neutron- An element with the same number of protons and electrons, but with a different number of neutrons per atom than the original element is called an "isotope". An isotope will have, for all intensive purposes, about the same chemical and physical properties as the original element. Isotopes are written as the element, followed by a dash, then the number of neutrons in one atom of that isotope (Carbon-13 is an isotope of carbon with 13 neutrons per atom)
Will variations in neutrons change the identity of the element?
Yes, variations in the number of neutrons in an atom will change its isotope, but not its identity as an element. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Why need to know the percentage of each isotope of an element to determine the atomic mass?
Because each isotope of an element has a mass different from any other isotope of the same element, and the atomic mass of an element is an average, weighted by the proportion of each isotope, in the naturally occurring element.
Is an isotope a chemical property?
An isotope is not a chemical property; rather, it refers to different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes can affect the physical properties of an element, such as its mass and stability, but they do not change its chemical properties.
