Atoms that have the same atomic number but different neutron numbers are known as isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in their Atomic Mass.

Why do isotopes have the same atomic number?

Not a question of why. It just is, isotopes have the same atomic number, (which means that they are all the same element) with different neutron numbers.

Are isotapes atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons?

atoms had gained or lost one or more electron are called ions. so no. the number of neutron and proton don't change. unless it was isotope you are talking about. they have the same atomic number but different atomic mass, which means different number of neutron.


What is an isotone?

An isotone is a group of atomic nuclei that have the same neutron number but different atomic numbers. This means isotones have the same number of neutrons but different numbers of protons. Isotones are different from isotopes, which have the same atomic number but different numbers of neutrons.


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.


Which particle has no charge Electron Positron Neutron Proton?

Atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons.


What is the neutron on zirconium?

Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons: Atomic mass of the isotope - Atomic number = Number of neutrons


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.


What is a proton and neutron?

A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle found in the nuclei of atoms. The number of protons an element has in its atomic nuclei is its atomic number, and defines the element. A neutron is a subatomic particle that has no charge and is also found in the nucleus of an atom. The number of neutrons in the nuclei of an element can vary. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, giving them different mass numbers, are called isotopes.

How do you calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom?

You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps


Can isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?

Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.
