Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Isotopes have the same atomic number, meaning they have the same number of protons and electrons, but they differ in mass due to the varying number of neutrons. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon, with 6 and 8 neutrons, respectively. Isotopes can exhibit different physical properties and stability, with some being radioactive.
What else can I help you with?
What does it mean when the neutrons of an atom are all different?
The number of neutrons present in atoms of an element may differ. Atoms of an element which have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. These differ in mass but have the same chemistry.All of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are the same.
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.
What is the name of an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons?
Ion
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
Are isotopes of an element charged particles?
No, that's an ion. An isotope is an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons.
If there was an atom of this element that has 18 neutrons would it still be the same element?
Yes. Atoms with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that atom, but a variation in the number of neutrons does not change what the atom is.
What does it mean when the neutrons of an atom are all different?
The number of neutrons present in atoms of an element may differ. Atoms of an element which have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. These differ in mass but have the same chemistry.All of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are the same.
Will an atom with more neutrons react identically to an atom of the same element with fewer neutrons?
Not always. Some atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are radioactive, whereas the other atoms are not.
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.
Which pair below describes isotopes of the same element Aan atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons - an atom with 8 protons an 6 neutrons Ban atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons - an atom with 6 p?
The pair below that describes isotopes of the same element is B, an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons-an atom with 6 protons. It is not A, an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons- an atom with 8 protons and 6 neutrons. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, which is the atomic number of the element.

What do isotopes pf the same element have different?
The numbers of neutrons per atom.
Where do you find the isotopes in an atom?
Isotopes are found in the nucleus of an atom. They are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The different isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties but different physical properties.
Will each atom of an element always have the same number of neutrons?
No many elements have multiple isotopes with different numbers of neutrons. Every atom of a certain isotope has the same number of neutrons
