What are isotopes easy definition?

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


How are istopes of the same element alike?

Same number of protons; identical or very similar chemical properties.


What are Atoms of the same substance that have different number of neutrons?

istopes


Why do istopes have different physical properties but same chemical properties?

They have similar chemical properties because isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons as an atom of that element. The electron arrangement is the same owing to same chemical properties. However they have different numbers of neutrons, which affects the mass number. Mass number determines the physical properties such as boiling/melting/density etc.


What number can be different and allow the atom to still be the same element?

the number of electrons can be different; it makes the element become an ion.


Are all atoms of the same element chemically alike?

Not 100%; Istopes of an element do have identical electronic structures but there are slight differences in mass: 'Molecules with different isotopes of a particular element have different bonding characteristics: the bonds between the atoms are just a bit different because the atoms have different masses. As a result, the molecules with different isotopes behave a little bit different during chemical reactions.' See related link


What subatomic particles can differ between neutral atoms of the same element?

Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons, which results in different isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.


Are all sample of elements are composed of atoms with same atomic mass?

No, different samples of an element can have varying atomic masses due to the presence of isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, leading to different atomic masses.


Is carbon 14 known as carbon monoxide?

No, carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon. Istopes are different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Carbon monoxide is a compound with one carbon and one oxygen atom per molecule. It is a toxic, colourless and odourless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of vehicle engines.


How do you know if you have the same element?

Restate the question: it makes no sense; same element as what?


Why do all istopes of an element have the same chemical peoperties?

because chemical properties are determined by the nomber of electrons and protons and all isotops have the same number electrons and protons. they differ in the number of neutrons alone which doesnt affect chemical properties


What Have different isotopes of the same element?

Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons and mass.
