What else can I help you with?
Are the elements of the periodic table arranged by their neutron numbers?
yes
What is an example of how ions and isotopes differ?
Ions involve differing numbers of electron orbiting the nucleus.Isotopes involve differing numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.
Different isotopes have different what?
The isotopes of an element must have a different amount of neutrons. I'm pretty sure you know what these are, but just in case: A neutron is a sub-atomic part of an atom, together with protons and electrons.
What are Adams of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons called?
Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. While they have the same atomic number and chemical properties, their differing neutron counts result in different mass numbers. This variation can affect the stability of the isotopes, leading some to be radioactive while others are stable.
Is an isotope a neutron?
Isotopes are atoms of the same chemical element that have different masses due to differing numbers of protons in the nucleus. These are all averaged out to give the "normal" atomic mass that's on the periodic table eg: Cl = 35.5 its abundancy is 75% Cl35 and 25% Cl37.
What name is given to elements with the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutron?
isotopes
Are the elements of the periodic table arranged by their neutron numbers?
yes
What name is given to elements wih the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons?
They are called as isotopes of the given element.
How many protons make up nitrogen-15?
It still has 7 protons because isotopes of elements have variable NEUTRON numbers, not nucleon (atomic mass) or proton numbers.
What do you call atoms that have more than 1 type of atom?
Some elements have atoms with differing numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. These different types are called isotopes.
What is the differences between isotope and element?
Regular elements contain regular neutron number and the same number of protons and neutrons. Isotopes have different neutron numbers than the original element, but the same number of protons and electrons.

Where did the heavy elements in planetary objects originate?
The heaviest elements come mainly from supernovae. Iron is the heaviest element that can be produced by fusion. Heavier elements are produced by neutron capture. An individual free-floating neutron collides with a nucleus and merges with it. That doesn't produce a higher element on the periodic table, because the atomic number depends on the number of protons. However, nuclei with too many neutrons are unstable, and will eventually "decay". A neutron will decay into a proton and an electron. Free neutrons don't exist in great numbers in normal stars, so neutron capture doesn't happen significantly in them. Elements from carbon to iron can be formed by fusion in large stars.
Can you always determine an element by the number of neutrons?
No, because some elements have Isotopes, with the same Proton number but different Neutron numbers. Sometimes therefore, the neutron number can overlap with that of isotopes of other elements. For example, two of Helium's isotopes share neutron numbers with two of Hydrogen's isotopes. Deuterium has 1 neutron, and so does 3He, Tritium has 2 neutrons, and so does 4He. It is the number of protons which determines which element it is.
