We can find Atomic Mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.

What are isotopes for an element?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in isotopes having the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.


Do isotopes have the same atomic number and the same atomic mass?

No: They have the same atomic number but not the same atomic mass.


Is atomic mass and molar mass similar and mass number of particles the same?

Atomic mass and molar mass are similar concepts but not the same. Atomic mass refers to the average mass of an atom of an element, while molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance. The mass number of particles can be the same in certain cases, such as isotopes of the same element which have the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons.


Is the mass number the same as the atomic mass?

No, the mass number is not the same as the atomic mass. The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus, while the atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of an element, taking into account their abundance.


Are neutrons the same as mass numbers?

No. The number of neutrons is represented by the element's atomic number, not the mass number.


Can an atom of two different elements have the same mass number?

Yes. The mass number is basic to the different elements, even more useful than the atomic number. (Unless it is an isotope. Isotopes have a different amount of neutrons than the basic element atom which makes a difference in mass number too. So, a difference in mass numbers doesn't always mean it is a different element.)


What is the atom with same atomic number but different mass number?

We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.


Is the atomic number and atomic mass the same?

No, the atomic number is the amount of protons it has and the weight is its mass


How is isotope and mass number related?

2 isotopes of the same element will have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The sum of protons and neutrons is the mass number, so different isotopes will have different mass numbers.


Which isotopes have the same mass?

The number of protons and neutrons is what determines the mass of an isotope. Even though isotopes of a particular element have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons, which causes their mass to be different.


Why is the mass number of the ion the same as the number of isotope?

The mass number of an ion is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons. Therefore, the mass number of an ion can be the same as the number of isotopes because isotopes contribute to varying mass numbers in the element.


What is the difference between isobar and isotope?

isobars are elements with same mass numbers (Atomic Mass) and different atomic number (number of proton or electron)
