Which element has 10 neutrons as in a neutral atom?
The element with 10 neutrons in a neutral atom is neon (atomic number 10).
What make an atom an isotope?
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
Does an atom retain the chemical identity of an element?
An isotope is an atom that contains a different number of neutrons. In order for an element to change there has to be a different number of protons.
What part of an atom must change for the atom to become a new element?
An atom must gain or lose protons from its nucleus to become an atom of another element. The number of protons, and to a much lesser extent the number of neutrons, will determine the chemical properties of an element.
What forms if the number of neutrons in an atom changes?
Nothing happens to the number of neutrons nor protons. it's just the electron number that changes. If an atom gains electrons, it increases and the ion is negative and vice versa. the number of neutrons or protons DOES NOT CHANGE.
A chlorine atom with 18 neutrons is what element?
A chlorine atoms is always a molecule of chlorine, irrespective of the number of neutrons it may have.
If there was an atom of this element that has 18 neutrons would it still be the same element?
Yes. Atoms with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that atom, but a variation in the number of neutrons does not change what the atom is.
How many neutrons are there in an element having a mass number of 155 and an atomic number of 63?
The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is always the difference between the mass number of the atom and the atomic number of the atom. Therefore, in this instance, there are (155 - 63) or 92 neutrons in the atom.
The mass number of an atom indicates the number of what?
The mass number is the sum of protons + neutrons.
What does the number of neutrons determine?
The number of neutrons in an atom determines the isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons. This affects the stability and nuclear properties of the atom.
How many neutrons does Krytpon-82 have?
The answer to how many neutrons an atom of an isotope has is always the difference between the mass number of the isotope and the atomic number of the element. The atomic number of krypton is 36. Therefore, an atom of krypton-82 has 46 neutrons.
Which element has 10 neutrons as in a neutral atom?
The element with 10 neutrons in a neutral atom is neon (atomic number 10).
How is the mass number related to the number of protons and neutrons and atoms has?
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. It represents the total number of nuclear particles (protons and neutrons) in the atom's nucleus. The number of protons in an atom determines its element, while the number of neutrons can vary to create different isotopes of the element.
What make an atom an isotope?
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
Atom of an element with different number of neutrons?
Isotope
If the number of neutrons in an atom is changed does the atom become a new element Why or why not?
Changing the number of neutrons in an atom does not change the element it belongs to because the element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Changing the number of neutrons would result in an isotope of the same element, not a new element.
Does an atom retain the chemical identity of an element?
An isotope is an atom that contains a different number of neutrons. In order for an element to change there has to be a different number of protons.
