What pairs differ by only a proton?
Isotopes of an element with adjacent atomic numbers differ by only a proton. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-13 isotopes differ by one proton.
What element has atoms which do not have nuetrons?
The most abundent isotope of Hydrogen has only a proton for a nucleus with a single electron orbiting it. However some isotopes of Hydrogen do have neutrons in the nucleus.
Why do all isotpoes of an element have the same chemical properties?
Chemical properties are determined by the electron configuration of an atom, not by its mass. These do not differ in all isotopes of one element, because isotopes have the same number of PROTONS thus the same electron configuration. Only the mass of different isotopes of one element is different by the different number of NEUTRONS.
What is the lightest element on the periodic table with no stable isotopes?
The lightest element on the periodic table with no stable isotopes is hydrogen. It only has one proton in its nucleus and no stable isotopes.
How would you describe the isotopes of hydrogen?
Hydrogen has three isotopes: protium (1H), deuterium (2H), and tritium (3H). Protium is the most abundant and consists of one proton and one electron. Deuterium contains one proton, one neutron, and one electron. Tritium has one proton, two neutrons, and one electron.
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of what-?
Only the neutron number is different, same proton and electron number.
What are the number of protons neutrons and electrons in the following isotopes 3-1 H?
There are only one proton and electron. But it contains 2 neutrons.
How many electron are in a hydrogen atom?
There is only ONE electron in the hydrogen atom . Here is a table of hydrogen isotopes. You will notice in all three cases there is only one proton and one electron. protium ([1/1]p) ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons , 1 electron deuterium ([2/1]d) ; 1 proton, 1 neutron , 1 electron tritium ([3/1]t) ; 1 proton, 2 neutrons , 1 electron NB helium ([4/2]He) ; 2 protons, 2 neutrons, 2 electrons.
Each of the three known isotopes of hydrogen has what protons in the nucleus?
Each isotope of hydrogen has 1 proton in the nucleus. The difference between the isotopes lies in the number of neutrons: hydrogen-1 has 0 neutrons, hydrogen-2 (deuterium) has 1 neutron, and hydrogen-3 (tritium) has 2 neutrons.
What pairs differ by only a proton?
Isotopes of an element with adjacent atomic numbers differ by only a proton. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-13 isotopes differ by one proton.
What element has atoms which do not have nuetrons?
The most abundent isotope of Hydrogen has only a proton for a nucleus with a single electron orbiting it. However some isotopes of Hydrogen do have neutrons in the nucleus.
What are different isotopes with their mass?
Most elements exhibit isotopes. Taking hydrogen as an example. It has three isotopes, viz. Protium, Deuterium , and Tritium. Protium (H-1)contains 1 proton and 1 electrons. It is the commonest isotopes of hydrogen, and is what is commonly thought of as hydrogen. Deuterium (H-2 /(D))contains 1 proton , 1 electron and 1 neutron. It is sometimes referred to as 'Heavy hydrogen' and is used to make 'Heavy water' for nuclear reactors. etc., Tritium (H-3 /(T))contains 1 proton , 1 electron and 2 neutrons. It can be thought of as 'Super heavy hydrogen'. It is the least comment isotope, known only in trace amounts, and is Radio-Active. Notice all isotopes of hydrogen contain only ONE proton and ONE electron , but the number of neutrons varies. Other well known isotopes are Carbon-12 / -13/-14 and Chlorine =35/-37 and uranium-235/-236-238
An atom of hydrogen is made up of?
All isotopes of hydrogen contain one proton. The single thing that makes each element unique is the number of protons in its nucleus. Only that. Neutron count can vary with different isotopes of an element, and electron count can vary as we see an atom loan or borrow electrons. Proton count always identifies an element, and nothing else. The word "isotope" means the same element, with the same properties, but with different numbers of neutrons. Most hydrogen atoms have one proton and no neutrons. Deuterium is the isotope that has one proton and one neutron, and tritium has one proton and two neutrons.Hydrogen with oxygen forms water; deuterium and oxygen forms "heavy water". Tritium is radioactive, and decays into helium-3.
Why do all isotpoes of an element have the same chemical properties?
Chemical properties are determined by the electron configuration of an atom, not by its mass. These do not differ in all isotopes of one element, because isotopes have the same number of PROTONS thus the same electron configuration. Only the mass of different isotopes of one element is different by the different number of NEUTRONS.
Are the charges of protons and electrons opposite and equal?
Yes, a proton is a subatomic particle that carries a charge equal to but opposite to that of an electron. The proton has a positive charge, and the electron has a negative charge.
Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?
Yes, an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom is a proton attracting an electron. This attraction occurs due to the opposite charges of the proton (positive) and the electron (negative), leading to the electrostatic force of attraction between them.
How many electrons in hydrogen are in the nucleus?
No electrons are in the nucleus. the nucleus consists of a proton for normal hydrogen, a proton and neutron for deuterium and a proton and two neutrons for tritium. Deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen.
