they all have same number of protons and electrons (in unionized form) but may have different number of neutrons.

What did Dalton's theory of atoms say about compound?

* All elements are made of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. * All atoms of a given element are alike but the atoms of one element differ from the atoms of every other element. * Atoms are not created, destroyed or converted into other kinds of atoms during chemical reactions. They are simply rearranged into new compounds. * Compounds result from the chemical combination of a specific ratio of atoms of different elements 10A who is asking this question


What are atoms of an element that have the same number of protons as other atoms of that element but a different number of neutrons called?

They are called isotopes,


How do atoms define or determine elements?

Each element is different so for a certain element to be define/determined it has different atoms to make it up so no other element has the same atoms


what are the 4 points in Dalton's atomic theory?

daltons atomic postulations stated that: * Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms. * All atoms of a given element are identical. * The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element; the atoms of different elements can be distinguished from one another by their respective relative weights. * Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form chemical compounds; a given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms. * Atoms cannot be created, divided into smaller particles, nor destroyed in the chemical process; a chemical reaction simply changes the way atoms are grouped together.


Are atoms in a chemical change irregular?

In a chemical change, the atoms themselves remain intact; however, they can rearrange and bond with other atoms to form new substances. This process involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds between atoms, but the atoms themselves are not irregular in structure.

Are Atoms of different elements exactly alike?

No. An atom is made of a nucleus composed of neutral Neutrons and positively charged Protons, surrounded by negatively charged electrons. The numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom varies depending on the element. Hydrogen, for example, has only one electron. Carbon has 6.


Are atoms of the same elements exactly alike?

yes other than the electron count may differ.


What are postulates in Daltons atomic theory?

* All elements are made of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. * All atoms of a given element are alike but the atoms of one element differ from the atoms of every other element. * Atoms are not created, destroyed or converted into other kinds of atoms during chemical reactions. They are simply rearranged into new compounds. * Compounds result from the chemical combination of a specific ratio of atoms of different elements.

How are an atom of gold in a ring and an atom of gold in a dental filling alike?

They are exactly the same. An atom of any element, not matter what substance it is a part of retains the same chemical properties. In other words, it has the same number of protons and electrons as well as the same electron configuration.


How can i tell if figures are congruent?

They will be exactly alike to each other.

Do atoms of sulfur have a different number of electrons than atoms of any other element?

Every atom of one element has different no. of electrons than any atom of any other element.


What tells you how heavy an element's atoms are compared with atoms of other elements?

The atomic mass of an element tells you how heavy its atoms are compared with atoms of other elements. Atomic mass is the average mass of an atom of an element, taking into account all its isotopes and their abundance.


Why must you put atoms that are alike at right angles to each other?

You do not! In graphite, for example, atoms of carbon are in the form of hexagons.
