Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?

Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.


Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain are known as?

they are known as isotopes. Dont ask people to do your homework


Do isotopes of an elements form similar compounds with atoms of other elements?

Absolutely yes, all isotopes of an element are chemically identical in the compounds they form as the chemistry is determined by the configuration of the electrons in the outer shell, which is completely unaffected by the number of neutrons inside the nucleus.What is affected in chemistry by different isotopes is reaction rates: compounds containing heavier isotopes react slower than compounds containing lighter isotopes. The most extreme case of this is heavy water, which reacts so slowly compared to ordinary water that it inhibits many reactions necessary for life!


Which are isotopes of hydrogen and chlorine?

Chlorine has isotopes with mass numbers ranging from 32 to 40. There are two principal stable isotopes, 35Cl (75.77%) and 37Cl (24.23%), giving chlorine atoms in bulk an apparent atomic weight of 35.5 g/mol.


What are some of the roles of isotopes?

- Isotopes are used as sources of radiation in medicine, sterilization, nondestructive control, etc.- Isotopes can be used as tracers- Isotopes can be used as energy source- Isotopes are used for radioactive dating- Isotopes are used in chemical analysis- Isotopes are used in many instruments- Isotopes are used as source of nuclear energy in bombs and nuclear reactorsetc.

How do you use the word isotopes in a sentence?

Scientists use isotopes to track the movement of water through the ecosystem.


How heavy water different from normal water?

Heavy water is about 11% denser than ordinary water, due to enriching of its deuterium isotopes.


What are atoms called if they have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?

An atom of an element having the same number of protons (as well as electrons) but a different number of neutrons is known as an isotope. Isotopes are often used in the nuclear power industry. An example of an industry is "heavy water" or Deuterium Oxide. It is water but with and isotope of hydrogen that has 2 extra neutrons. The isotope is called Deuterium, and heavy water is also sometimes known as D2O.


What is the largest mass in amu that a water molecule could have using other isotopes?

The largest mass of a water molecule (H2O) using other isotopes would be if both hydrogen atoms were deuterium (2H) isotopes instead of normal hydrogen (1H) isotopes. In this case, the total mass of the water molecule would be 20 amu, as each deuterium atom has a mass of 2 amu and the oxygen atom has a mass of 16 amu.

How are radioactive isotopes different from isotopes?

Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.
