Do isotopes of the same element have different atomic numbers?
NO. An element always has its own unique atomic number, because the atoms of that element all have identical amounts of protons. Counting the number of protons in a nucleus of an atom reveals the identity of the atom. So, all atoms of the same element have the same atomic number.However atoms of one element CAN have a different masscaused by different number of neutrons in nucleus: these are called isotopes of that element.No. The only thing that can change within an given element, is the atomic mass usually referred to as isotopes, which means there is a different abundance of each isotope.For example chlorine has two isotopes one which is 75.78% and a atomic mass of 34.969 and the second is 24.22% and a atomic mass of 36.966.Now calculate the average atomic mass and you have a answer of 35.45.
When two atoms have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons what are these atoms?
They are isotopes of each other.
Do all isotopes of an elements have different numbers of electrons?
No, all isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (which determines the element's identity) and therefore the same number of electrons in a neutral atom. Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they contain.
As the number of the isotopes of an element increases the number of protons?
Atomic mass increases with the ordered placement of the element of the periodic table. Conveniently, the number of protons, nuetrons and electrons also increase with numbered order on the table. Every element is assigned a number. This number is equal to the number of protons, nuetrons and electrons. I believe it's the nuetrons that make up the mass of the element, but not sure!
How do isotopes of the same element have the same atomic size?
Isotopes of the same element have the same atomic size because atomic size is determined by the number of protons and this number is always constant for an element. The mass number of isotopes may however vary.
Is it true Different isotopes for the same element will always have the same numbers of neutrons?
Yes. it is true. Isotopes of the same element always have different number of neutrons.
How do scientist tell the different between two isotopes of the same element?
scientists Can tell the difference between two isotopes of the same element because, isotopes of the same elements always have the same number of protons.
Which is not true all isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons?
All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.
Do the nuclei of all atoms of a given element always have the same number of neutrons?
No - different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. All atoms of an element will have the same number of protons.
Is the parent element always radioactive in a nuclear reaction?
No, the parent element in a nuclear reaction is not always radioactive. While many parent isotopes are indeed radioactive and decay into stable or unstable daughter isotopes, there are also stable isotopes that can undergo nuclear reactions without being radioactive themselves. For example, stable isotopes can be involved in nuclear reactions such as neutron capture or fusion, but they do not decay over time like radioactive isotopes.
Why can 2 atoms of the same element have different numbers of neutrons but must always have the same number of protons?
They are called Isotopes
What do atoms of the same given element share?
Atoms of a given element always have the same number of protons in their nucleus. Neutrons can vary (in different isotopes) and electrons can vary (in different ions) but protons are always the same for a given element. If the number of protons is changed, then you no longer have the same element.
What isotopes always have the same element?
Isotopes are variations of an element. Isotopes of one element always have the same number of protons because it's the number of protons that define the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons which will equal the number of protons. (That ignores atoms that are in the form of ions.) Different isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons. The variations in the number of neutrons make the mass of atoms different but they do not change the element nor do they change the chemical properties of the element. Some isotopes of an element can be radio-active, that is, they are unstable and can emit an alpha or beta particle or a gamma ray. As an example, carbon has 6 protons and most atoms have 6 neutrons. A few carbon atoms have 8 neutrons with a mass of 14. It is known as "Carbon 14" and is radio active. That is because the nucleus can emit a beta particle and in doing so, the atom actually changes to a nitrogen atom.
What is mass number of an isotope?
The mass number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, and this always determines the element in the Periodic Table. Different isotopes of the same element have differing numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, but always the same number of protons.
Is calcuim a mixture?
Only of isotopes. Calcium is an element. No mixture of chemicals can ever be a single element. The atoms of any element, such as calcium, always have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons. The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in that atom. Different Isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, but this doesn't change any of the chemical properties.
Are all atoms of an element the same?
If it is a pure element, yes usually but not always. If it is a mix of isotopes then no. Carbon for example is not pure C12 - with 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Naturally there is some C13 and traces of C14 with 7 and 8 neutrons respectively present.
Do isotopes of the same element have different atomic numbers?
NO. An element always has its own unique atomic number, because the atoms of that element all have identical amounts of protons.
