Does a isotope of a element have more protons?
All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, otherwise they would not be the same element. What varies is the number of neutrons, they can be more or less than in the stable isotope(s) of the element.
What does the isotope of an element have?
An isotope of an element has a different number of Neutrons to the original element it came from. EG: Carbon( 11 neurtons) can go to carbon(12 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.
When an alpha particle is emitted the nucleus of the original element?
An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, and contains two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, the original nucleus will have two protons and two neutrons less. Its atomic number will be two less, and its atomic mass will be 4 less.
How are an atom ion and isotope of an element different?
An ion is an element that has lost or gained electrons, "cation - positive charge", "anion - negative charge". Gaining a charge causes the element to be more or less reactive. An isotope is an element that has lost or gained neutrons. Losing or gaining neutrons does not effect the overall charge, but it does affect the elements stability.

How many neutron's does chlorine have?
the average amount of neutrons in chlorine is 18, but there could be more or less with the different isotopes
What makes an element more massive?
The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom determines its mass. Elements with more protons and neutrons are more massive. Additionally, the mass of an element can be influenced by the presence of isotopes, which have varying numbers 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.
Can atoms of two different elements have the same number of neutrons?
Number of protons in in an element denote the type of element. So you identify element on the number of protons in it. Protons being positively charged can not sit together in a nucleus. They will repel each other. So you do not have an element in which only 2 or more protons and no neutrons are there.It means neutrons act as binding material in an element. So usually equal or more neutrons are there in an element. If same number of neutrons are there in nucleus but different number of protons, then it is no more a same but different element. An element in which different number of neutrons are there are called as Isotope. All element have got one or more Isotopes. So there 'physical' properties would differ but not 'chemical' property.
What is an atom with more or fewer neutrons than atoms of the same element?
An atom of a certain element with a different number of neutrons compared with the common form of the element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but a different number of neutrons (which means that they have a different atomic mass number).
When an alpha particle is emitted the nucleus of the original element?
An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, and contains two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, the original nucleus will have two protons and two neutrons less. Its atomic number will be two less, and its atomic mass will be 4 less.
How are an atom ion and isotope of an element different?
An ion is an element that has lost or gained electrons, "cation - positive charge", "anion - negative charge". Gaining a charge causes the element to be more or less reactive. An isotope is an element that has lost or gained neutrons. Losing or gaining neutrons does not effect the overall charge, but it does affect the elements stability.
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.
How do you estimate the number of neutrons in the atoms of an element?
The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of any isotope of an element is equal to the "atomic mass number", which is usually stated in a number immediately after a hyphen at the end of the element name in the name of the isotope, minus the atomic number. Because most elements have more than one stable isotope, the average number of neutrons in the mixture of isotopes of an element that occurs naturally is usually not an integer.
What element has fewer or more neutrons than protons?
The vast majority
