What else can I help you with?
What do you call the several different forms of an element having different atomic mass and number of neutrons?
We call these different "flavors" of an element the isotopes of that element.
What distinguishes an isotope from a regular element?
Isotopes are different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, resulting in different atomic weights. This difference in atomic weight among isotopes is what distinguishes them from a regular element.
Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?
Yes, isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This is why the atomic mass on the periodic table is often listed as a range for an element.
Different forms of the same element?
Allotropes-different forms of the same element ex. diamond and graphite for carbon different arrangement of the atoms Actually it is diamond, charcoal, and GRAPHITE... Not carbon
How are isotopes the same but different?
Isotopes are different forms of the same element which have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. A given element is identified by the number of protons in its nucleus; that's its atomic number. Two different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but each has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. Different isotopes of the same element are chemically the same.

We call these different "flavors" of an element the isotopes of that element.
Why is the atomic mass an average?
Because there can be many different forms of that element. So they they find the mass of all the forms of that element and make is an average.
What are the different forms called in an element that has forms with different numbers of neurons?
An element that has forms with different numbers of neurons is referred to as an "allotrope." Allotropes are different forms of the same element that have distinct physical or chemical properties due to variations in their atomic structure, such as differences in the number of neurons. Examples include carbon allotropes like graphite, diamond, and fullerene.
Isotopes are forms of the same element that differ in what?
Yes, isotopes of an element are the same element but with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus and thus different atomic masses.
Can an element have many gram atomic weights?
No, not really. An element has a single atomic weight, which is the weighted average of all the isotopes of that element, weighted by their natural abundance. Each element only has a single atomic weight.What this means is that different atoms of a single element can weigh different amounts because different isotopes have different numbers of neutrons. However, the atomic weight represents the average for all forms of that element, and so there is only one value. The different isotopes of an element certainly have different mass numbers, which is just the sum of the number of neutrons and protons however.
Carbon exists as 12c6 and 14c6 these different forms of the same element are known as?
Isotopes. These are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses.
What distinguishes an isotope from a regular element?
Isotopes are different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, resulting in different atomic weights. This difference in atomic weight among isotopes is what distinguishes them from a regular element.
What are atoms of the same element thay have different atomic masses?
Atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in variations in atomic mass while maintaining the same chemical properties.
What is something and atom and isotope have in common?
Isotopes are different forms of the same element which have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. A given element is identified by the number of protons in its nucleus; that's its atomic number. Two different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but each has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. Different isotopes of the same element are chemically the same.
