How can two atoms of the same element have different numbers of neutrons why doesnt the different number of neutrons make it a different element?
Neutrons have no significant effects on an atom's properties other than its mass. Nearly all chemical and physical properties of an element are determined by the configuration and number of electrons it has, which is in turn determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. As a result two atoms of the same element but with different numbers of neutrons (called isotopes) will behave identically.
What else can I help you with?
What will happen to an atom if you take away neutrons?
Depends. If you only add one (or a few) the you get an (heavier) isotope. But if you cram in too many (and this depends on which element you started with) you'll get a beta emission (an electron) and the element will be moved up one on the chart of elements.
How many covalent bonds can Helium make?
None. helium doesnt react with any other element
What is the valence for CaH2?
Well, it doesnt matter what equation an element is in it will always have the came valence, Carbon is 4+ as it is in Group IV.
How does the combination of electrons protons and neutrons result in the neutral charge of an atom?
The atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, which results in a neutral charge overall. Protons are positively charged, while electrons are negatively charged, and their equal number cancels out these charges to create neutrality. Neutrons have no charge and help stabilize the nucleus of the atom.
Why does the blood tissue transport oxygen and mineral element but does not fight against diseases?
like it transports oxygen and minerals it transports antibodies and white blood cells to fight disease, it just doesnt fight it itself
Why do all istopes of an element have the same chemical peoperties?
because chemical properties are determined by the nomber of electrons and protons and all isotops have the same number electrons and protons. they differ in the number of neutrons alone which doesnt affect chemical properties
Why do atoms of the same element have the same mass number?
Atomic mass is determined by the total number of protons and neutrons. A certain element can have different numbers of neutrons (but not different numbers of protons) and still be the same element. So for example typical Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. But there is also Carbon (less typical) that has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Typical Nitrogen has 7 protons and 7 neutrons. So the 14 nucleons in typical Nitrogen will have about the same mass as the not so typical Carbon, also with 14 nucleons. Elements with the same proton number but different neutron number are called "isotopes". So Atomic masses can be similar between isotopes of different elements.
Why doesnt the number of protons change for a single element while the neutrons and electrons can?
The number of protons in an atom determines its identity as a specific element. Changing the number of protons would change the element. Neutrons and electrons can be added or removed without changing the identity of the element since they do not affect the element's chemical properties.
Why is that other numbers are not a lucky number?
doesnt make sense in what your asking.put it in a different way of asking
How many electons are in the element neon?
Neon has 10 protons, 10 neutrons and 10 electrons.
What is in crystals?
It depends what type of crystal it is, if it is Copper, it has the element Copper in it, Just look up the Composition of the crystal, but just because its name is named after a element doesnt mean it doesnt have That element in it.
Why doesnt brake light and turn signal work but tail light does?
This is because the tail light bulb has a different element in the bulb. Just replace the bulb and that will fix the problem.
What will happen to an atom if you take away neutrons?
Depends. If you only add one (or a few) the you get an (heavier) isotope. But if you cram in too many (and this depends on which element you started with) you'll get a beta emission (an electron) and the element will be moved up one on the chart of elements.
What are all the music producers numbers?
that doesnt make sense
Does melanin have 6 protons 6 neutrons and 6 electrons?
Oh honey, that's a cute attempt at chemistry, but let me set the record straight. Melanin is a pigment, not an element, so it doesn't have protons, neutrons, or electrons. It's all about giving color to your skin, hair, and eyes, not hanging out in the periodic table.
Why power does not remains same in series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current through each element is the same current. Because the total current must flow through every element. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each element is the same voltage. Because every element is connected individually across the power supply.
