An isotope is not really related to the number of electrons, but rather it is determined by the number of neutrons.

Which is not true all isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons?

All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.


How much do isotopes that share an element differ in the number?

Isotopes have a different number of neutrons but the number of protons and electrons is the same.


How many electrons are their in uranium - 235?

92 electrons - the number of electrons is the same in all the isotopes of uranium. Number of electrons = Number of protons = Atomic number


Why do isotopes have identical chemical reactions?

Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, which determines their chemical behavior. Since chemical reactions involve the transfer or sharing of electrons, isotopes with the same number of electrons will exhibit identical chemical reactions. The differences in isotopic mass do not significantly affect their chemical behavior.


What charge do isotopes have?

Isotopes do not have a specific charge, as their charge is determined by the number of protons and electrons they possess. Neutral atoms have an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in no overall charge. However, isotopes of an element can have different numbers of neutrons, which does not affect their charge.

Do isotopes differ by number of electrons?

Isotopes differ by the number of protons.


Do isotopes contain more electrons than other Atoms?

No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.


How do the number of electrons compare in two isotopes in an element?

In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Isotopes of the same element also have the same number of electrons and the electronic structure.


What are the number of electrons in each of the three isotopes of oxygen?

eight electrons


Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of electrons?

Isotopes have the same number of protons an electrons; the number of neutrons is different.


Do the atomic number of isotopes differ?

No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.

Would isotopes of the same element have the same number of electrons?

Yea because isotopes only differ in their # of neutrons, not electrons

Why isotopes of an element show identical chemical properties?

The number of electrons in isotopes is identical.


Do all isotopes of an elements have different numbers of electrons?

No, all isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (which determines the element's identity) and therefore the same number of electrons in a neutral atom. Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they contain.
