What are atoms that have the same element but different neutrons?
IsotopesThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element. The number of neutrons can vary. If two atoms of the same element have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei, they are isotopes of that element.
One isotope for a particular element is distinguished from another by the number of?
protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The number of protons determines the element, while the number of neutrons can vary to create different isotopes of that element.
Does changing the number of neutrons affect what type of element it is?
No. You have to change the number of protrons.(Changing the number of neutrons changes the isotope of the element, but it is still the same element. However, changing the number of neutrons will often result in instability, causing a radioactive decay sequence, which often results in a change in element.)
What is the number of neutrons for a specific element equal to?
The average number of neutrons that a specific element has is equivilent to the element's atomic mass minus the that elements atomic number. For example Helium has 2 neutrons because its atomic mass (4) minus the atomic number (2) is 2.
What is the name number tells you the amount of protons and neutrons in an element?
Number of protons + Number of neutrons = Mass number(number of nucleons)
What do we call it when neutrons are added to an element?
This is a (n,γ) nuclear reaction (neutron-gamma).
Isotopes of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
What subatomic particles can differ between neutral atoms of the same element?
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons, which results in different isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
What are the element number of neutrons?
Number of Neutrons = Mass number - Number of Protons

Finding the number of neutrons in an element?
To find the number of neutrons in an element, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the mass number (sum of protons and neutrons). Neutrons do not carry a charge and help stabilize the nucleus of an atom.
What is the number of neutrons for a specific element equal to?
The average number of neutrons that a specific element has is equivilent to the element's atomic mass minus the that elements atomic number. For example Helium has 2 neutrons because its atomic mass (4) minus the atomic number (2) is 2.
What is the name number tells you the amount of protons and neutrons in an element?
Number of protons + Number of neutrons = Mass number(number of nucleons)
Does all the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
No, the number of neutrons vary, but protons and electrons are static among an element.
What is the number of neutrons in the element radium?
Radium has 138 neutrons.
