There are several such elements. Examples are helium and carbon.

How are all isotopes of a single element different?

Isotopes have the same amount of protons but a different amount of neutrons.


What are the differences between isotopes isomers and ions?

An isotope is an element that has lost or gained neutrons. Isotopes have the same amount of protons and electrons but have a different number of neutrons. The less neutrons the lighter the isotope, the more neutrons, the heavier the isotope. An ion is an element that has lost or gained electrons. Ions have more or less electrons than protons and have a normal amount of neutrons. The more an atom has the more negative it is, the less the more positive it is.


Isotopes have the same element but different?

Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.


Do carbon-12 and carbon-14 have the same number of protons?

yes no matter what the same element will have exactly the same amount of protons only the neutrons and electrons change!


How do you find how many protons electrons and neutrons are in an atom?

The amount of protons is the same as the Atomic Number of the atom. Also the same goes for the amount of electrons. The number of neutrons in an atom would be the atomic mass minus the number of protons, neutrons, or atomic number. (it doesn't matter which of the three you use because they are all the same number) For example Titanium has an atomic number of 22, protons 22, and electrons 22. The atomic mass is 47, so to find the amount of neutrons you would take the atomic mass (47) minus the atomic number, protons, or electrons (22). So this would be your equation... Atomic mass - electrons (or whichever you choose) equals number of neutrons. So-> 47-22=25 neutrons.

What makes any element that specific element?

The Atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element that specific element. Actually, it is only the protons. The number of neutrons and/or electrons can vary, and it is still the same element. The one thing that makes an element that specific element is only the number of protons.


Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?

Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.


Can an element have the same number of electrons and neutrons?

Yes, it can, but it doesn't have to.

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.


Are hydrogen -3 and helium -3 isotopes the same element?

no they are not the same element bc isotopes have the same amount of protons but not the same amount of neutrons or electrons! -tabbyg

Is it true that atoms of the same element have the same amount of neutrons?

If the chemical element has isotopes the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
