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.

How may atoms of the same element differ from one another?

Atoms of the same element can differ from one another in their atomic mass, which is determined by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. These variations are called isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.


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.


Can neutral atoms of the same element differ in neutrons?

Yes, neutral atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain. These are called isotopes, which are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.


Elements that differ in mass number are?

Such atoms are isotopes and belong to the same element.


What are atoms of the same element have different mass numbers?

Isotopes.Isotopes.


Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?

Yes, isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This is why the atomic mass on the periodic table is often listed as a range for an element.


What are atoms of the same element but have different sums of protons and neutrons?

The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.


Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers are known as?

Isotopes.


5. How do isotopes differ from one another and from the element atoms on the periodic table?

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in variations in atomic mass for isotopes. The element atoms on the periodic table represent the average mass of all its naturally occurring isotopes.


Isotopes of the same element differ in their?

number of neutrons, and therefore their mass numbers.


Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons?

YES. The very definition of isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of proton (same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, therefore different mass numbers.


How can you tell the mass of most of the atoms of a given element?

The mass numbers are given on the periodic table.
