Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
The atoms of the isotopes of a particular element vary in the number of neutrons in their nuclei. While they have the same number of protons (which defines the element), the differing neutron counts result in different atomic masses. This variation in neutrons leads to different isotopes, which can exhibit different physical and nuclear properties.
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
The number of neutrons differ for each isotope of a chemical element.
This statement is incorrect. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in their number of neutrons. Rubidium, specifically, has two stable isotopes: Rb-85 and Rb-87, which both have 37 protons but different numbers of neutrons.
No, thallium isotopes do not contain iodine. Thallium isotopes are variants of the element thallium, while iodine is a separate element with its own isotopes.
Electrons
neutrons
All atoms of the same element contain the same number of protons and electrons, but atoms of a given element may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. An element has many isotopes--each with a close, but different number of neutrons.
The nuclei of different plutonium isotopes all contain 94 protons, which define the element as plutonium. The isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they contain, resulting in different atomic masses for each isotope.
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
The average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of a particular element are an element's atomic Mass.
The number of neutrons differ for each isotope of a chemical element.
Isotopes of a particular element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons in their nucleus. This difference in the number of neutrons gives isotopes different atomic mass values.
This statement is incorrect. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in their number of neutrons. Rubidium, specifically, has two stable isotopes: Rb-85 and Rb-87, which both have 37 protons but different numbers of neutrons.
The number of neutrons in the atoms. This affect some physical properties.
No, thallium isotopes do not contain iodine. Thallium isotopes are variants of the element thallium, while iodine is a separate element with its own isotopes.
An atom or element that have different masses are known as isotopes.
