An Isotope has the same number of Protons (and thus electrons in its electrically neutral state) but a different number of Neutrons.
Ergo, an element is defined by the number of Protons in its nucleus.
Atoms of the same element are alike in terms of their number of protons, which determines the element. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain, leading to different isotopes of that element.
To determine which atoms in a table are of the same element, you would look for atoms that have the same atomic number, as this identifies the element. Atoms of the same element will also have the same number of protons in their nucleus. If isotopes of an element are present, they will have the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to varying numbers of neutrons.
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
yes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, thus electorns, thus the same chemical properties. Where isotpes differ is in the number of neutrons. Consider hydrogen, atomic number 1, atomic weight 1, 1 proton, 1 electron vs duterium, atomic number 1 atomic weight 2, 1 proton, 1 electron, 1 neutron. H2O = water D2O = heavy water
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei. The number of protons is the atomic number for that element on the periodic table. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.
All atoms with the same number of protons are atoms of the same element. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
Atoms of the same element are alike in terms of their number of protons, which determines the element. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain, leading to different isotopes of that element.
Yes, all atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons.
Atoms of the same Element have this.
same number of each element
No. Each type of atom (element) has its own unique number of protons, which is called the atomic number. Atoms of the same element will always have the same atomic number (number of protons). Atoms of different elements will never have the same atomic number (number of protons).
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which is its atomic number. A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element, having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
Atoms with the same atomic number are all atoms of the same element. However, if the atoms have different molecular weights, they are isotopes of the same element.
yes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, thus electorns, thus the same chemical properties. Where isotpes differ is in the number of neutrons. Consider hydrogen, atomic number 1, atomic weight 1, 1 proton, 1 electron vs duterium, atomic number 1 atomic weight 2, 1 proton, 1 electron, 1 neutron. H2O = water D2O = heavy water
The number of protons is identical in all atoms of an element.
