What is different about the atom of an isotope?
An isotope of an atom has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons compared to the common form of that atom. This results in isotopes having the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.
What forms if the number of neutrons in an atom changes?
Nothing happens to the number of neutrons nor protons. it's just the electron number that changes. If an atom gains electrons, it increases and the ion is negative and vice versa. the number of neutrons or protons DOES NOT CHANGE.
What is the elements in a isotope?
An isotope depends on the number of neutrons in the atom. If you consider various isotopes of a particular element, the proton number does not change. Examples: Carbon 12: 6n, 6p Carbon 13: 7n, 6p Hydrogen 1 (protium): 1p Hydrogen 2 (deuterium): 1n, 1p
What makes an isotope different from an atom that has the same number of protons?
Elements are substances such as Hydrogen. It has 1 Proton, and 0-2 neutrons. Since the number of neutrons can vary, we call each form of Hydrogen an isotope. A hydrogen with no neutrons and a hydrogen with 1 nuetron are both still Hydrogens. We simply call one the Hydrogen-1 Isotope. An isotope is just a variation of an element as the element can have different numbers of neutrons. All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, else itd be an isotope of another element.
What if the proton has a different number of nuetrons?
If a proton has a different number of neutrons, it becomes an isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons, which can impact the stability and properties of the atom.
What is different about the atom of an isotope?
An isotope of an atom has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons compared to the common form of that atom. This results in isotopes having the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.
A form of an atom which has a changed number of nuetrons i call what?
Isotope.
Is the sum of the numbers of protons and the number neutrons in an atom is the mass number?
It is the mass number for that particular form of the atom - that particular isotope. An element can exist as more than one isotope and the atom's mass number is the (weighted) average of the mass numbers of all its isotopes.
How do you find the isotopes of an atom?
The atomic number of an isotope is always identical to every other isotope, otherwise, it would form a separate element.
What forms if the number of neutrons in an atom changes?
Nothing happens to the number of neutrons nor protons. it's just the electron number that changes. If an atom gains electrons, it increases and the ion is negative and vice versa. the number of neutrons or protons DOES NOT CHANGE.
What describes an isotope of the commonly occuring oxygen atom which has 8 electrons 8 protons and 8 neutrons?
what is an isotope? An isotope is a different form of an element's atom that does not change the identity of the atom. I believe that the isotope would be Oxygen-16 due to the atomic mass of such an atom.
What is the elements in a isotope?

What is a form of a element that has the same atomic number but a different mass number?
It is an isotope, an example is hydrogen and deuterium.
What if the proton has a different number of nuetrons?
If a proton has a different number of neutrons, it becomes an isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons, which can impact the stability and properties of the atom.
How do chemical proprties of isotopes compare?
an isotope is a different form of that element. They just have different mass numbers/ atomic mass. Therefore having the same characteristics of the atom except for an increased/decreased number of neutrons. Isotopes have the same atomic number as each other.
What is an atom with more or fewer neutrons than atoms of the same element?
An atom of a certain element with a different number of neutrons compared with the common form of the element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but a different number of neutrons (which means that they have a different atomic mass number).
