What are atoms with nuclei that contain the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons called?
An atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
If the element loses/gains a proton, then the element changes, but a different number of neutrons simply changes the isotope of the element in question. For instance:
Nitrogen-14 (Atomic Mass 14, normal Nitrogen) has 7 protons, electrons, and neutrons. If we add a proton and an electron, then it changes to Oxygen-15, which is unstable, and therefore radioactive. However, if we add a neutron to our Nitrogen-14, it becomes Nitrogen-15, which just happens to be a stable isotope (and in fact makes up 0.37% of the Nitrogen in the air).
Finally, if we add a Proton/Electron and a neutron to Nitrogen-14, we get Oxygen-16, which unlike Oxygen-15, is perfectly stable (and it better be, as Oxygen-16 makes up about 99% of the Oxygen we need to survive).
What else can I help you with?
Which subatomic can be called a nucleus?
The atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons.
What is it called when the neutron's and protons are different?
Neutrons and protons both are located at the atomic nucleus. Protons carry +1 charge each. Neutrons carry no charge.
Protons and neutrons together are known as?
no there are different elements, and you can check a periodic table for more information.
A atom with a altered number of neutrons?
Two atoms with the same # of protons & electrons but different # of neutrons are called isotopes, which is what I assume you want. If the number of neutrons changes, and # protons increases, then there is a Beta - particle emitted. If # of protons decreases, then an alpha particle is emitted.
What are particles similar mass called neutrons and protons contained within?
Atomic nuclei....Protons contain two up quarks and a down quark orbiting each other, and neutrons contain two down quarks and an up quark.
What is a subatomic particle with a nucleus called?
The atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons; protons and neutrons are formed from quarks and gluons.
Atoms that have different number of protons and neutrons are called?
Atoms which have different number of protons and neutrons but have the same molecular weight are called Isobars.
Which subatomic can be called a nucleus?
The atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons.
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called what?
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called an Isotope.
What are the different numbers of neutrons called when two atoms have the same number of protons?
Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called "isotopes".
How do the numbers of protons neutrons and electrons for an element compare?
In the neutral state, all atoms of the same element contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. However, most elements have atoms with different numbers of neutrons. These are called isotopes.
What is it called when the neutron's and protons are different?
Neutrons and protons both are located at the atomic nucleus. Protons carry +1 charge each. Neutrons carry no charge.
What is the number of protons and neutrons called?
The number protons in an atom is called the atomic number (it is this number that tells us which element the atom is). The number of neutrons in an atom can change, but the term for the amount of neutrons is called an isotope. The number of protons and neutrons added together is called the atomic mass.
What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
Protons and neutrons together are known as?
no there are different elements, and you can check a periodic table for more information.
What particles are at the center of an atom?
Atoms contain three different sub-atomic particles. Protons, which are particles with a positive charge, and neutrons, particles with a neutral charge are found in the nucleus at the center of the atom. Surrounding the nucleus are electrons, particles that have negative charge.
A atom with a altered number of neutrons?
Two atoms with the same # of protons & electrons but different # of neutrons are called isotopes, which is what I assume you want. If the number of neutrons changes, and # protons increases, then there is a Beta - particle emitted. If # of protons decreases, then an alpha particle is emitted.
