In a period of the Periodic Table, atomic number increases sequentially from left to right as protons are added to the nucleus of each successive element. Atomic Mass typically increases as well, although it does not always correlate directly due to the varying number of neutrons in isotopes. While atomic number defines the identity of an element, atomic mass reflects both protons and neutrons, leading to a generally increasing trend in mass alongside the atomic number across a period.

What is meant by the statement -this element has 3 isotopes?

The statement means that the element in question has three different forms (isotopes) with varying numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. These isotopes of the element share the same number of protons and electrons but have different atomic masses due to the differing number of neutrons.

Iron is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 56.


Is this statement correct atoms are made up of nucleus and electrons composed of protons whose number is called the atomic number and neutrons whose numbers added together make the mass number?

It's close, but an atom is made of a nucleus and electrons. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. The number of protons equals the atomic number of the element, and the atomic mass is the number of protons plus neutrons.


What following statement best describes the number of neutrons in an atom?

The number of neutrons in an atom is determined by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the mass number. Neutrons help stabilize the nucleus of an atom by balancing out the positive charge of the protons. Different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons.

Can you identify an atom without knowing number of neutrons in it?

Yes, and in order to find the Number of Neutrons, subtract Atomic Mass from Number Of Protons, the result will be the Number of Neutrons for that atom *No. Of Neutron=Atomic Mass - Number Of Protons


What is atomic number 55 used in atomic clock for accuracy?

The atomic number 55 refers to the element caesium. Caesium atomic clocks use the natural resonant frequency of caesium atoms to measure time accurately. By measuring the vibrations of caesium atoms, these clocks can maintain incredibly precise timekeeping.
