Can you determine whether the atoms are the same element with out looking at the nuclei?

To a certain extent yes. In a balanced element the number of electrons match the number of protons in the core of the element. If electrons have been added or removed (as in an ion) then you would need to know the exact number added/removed, or rebalance the element, in order to determine the specific element.

What is property in which unstable nuclei of an element spontaneously emit radiation?
Radioactivity
Is the binding energy the same for all nuclei?
No. Binding energy differs from element to element,
An element is determined by what?
By the number of protons in the nucleus. So the atomic number decides the element. If it is 1, then that is Hydrogen element. 2 is for Helium, 3-Lithium, 4-Berilium, 5-Boron and so on. Gold element has 79 protons in its nucleus. Mercury has 80. So with a high sophisticated technology if we take only one proton from each mercury atom, then we can produce gold. So mercury has been changed into gold. So transition of element is only by physical means not by chemical means.
What is necular energy?
produced when billions of nuclei from uranium, a radio active element, split apart in a nuclear fission reaction. :D By: Chelsea, a dumb blonde (:
Some atoms such as carbon-14 whose nuclei are not stable lose parts of their nucleus through decay -In the process they become another element -Atoms such as this are said to be?
Radioactive.
Which element has 14 protons in the nuclei of its atoms?
Silicon
What element has 81protons in the nuclei of its atoms?
An element's number of protons is the same as its atomic number.
What structural element do all isotopes of an element have in common?
Number of protons in the nuclei of their atoms.
What is the process of joining two nuclei together to form a new element called?
Joining two nuclei to produce an atom of a different element is called fusion.
Which element's atoms have all six protons in their nuclei?
carbon
When can atoms of the same element vary in the number of?
Neutrons in their nuclei.
What element is formed when hydrogen nuclei fuse together?
Helium
What characteristics of an element determins its place in the table?
mass and whether or not it's a metal. also how volatile it is
What does an element's atomic number stand for?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the atomic nuclei of the atoms of an element.
What informationdoes the atomic number of an element provide?
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms, and is unique to each element.
Do nuclei have a positive or negative charge?
Atomic nuclei have positive electrical charges. The size of the charge depends upon the element in question.
What is the relationship of two isotopes of an elements nuclei?
describe the relationship between two isotopes of an element and protons and neurtons in the elements nuclei .
