Yes, isotopes of an element are the same element but with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus and thus different atomic masses.
What else can I help you with?
Can isotopes have the same number of subatomic particles?
An isotope is defined as: Each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element So basically, an isotope is from the same place (element) and has the same number of protons, but the number of electrons differ. So isotopes are not subatomic; the protons and electrons that make an isotope are subatomic.
How are two isotopes of an element different?
An isotope is an element with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. The same no of protons means the same no of electrons, and this means the same chemical properties. The difference in the no of neutrons means various changes in the physical properties such as density, and also the stability ( or lack of it ) of the nucleus.
What subatomic particle determines if an element is an isotope or not?
The neutron; the proton determines the element of the atom, but different atoms of the same element can have different atomic masses, due to the different number of neutrons of the atoms. Atoms of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called Isotopes. Thus, neutron determines the isotope of an atom.
What do an atom, ion, and isotope of an element have in common?
Atoms, ions, and isotopes of an element all have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which determines the element's identity.
How is it possible for two atoms of the same element to have different masses?
Two atoms of the same element can have different masses if they contain different numbers of neutrons. These are known as isotopes of the element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but differing numbers of neutrons, which can slightly alter their atomic mass.
What are the differences in isotopes of the same elements?
Isotopes are forms of the same element that differ in Neutrons.
Forms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons?
such forms of an elements are known as isotopes.
Two or more forms of the same chemical element that differ in atomic mass?
Isotopes are two or more forms of the same chemical element that differ in atomic mass due to having a different number of neutrons in their nuclei. These isotopes of an element have the same number of protons and electrons but vary in their overall mass.
How does an element differ from its isotopes?
Isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.
What are element that differ in the number of neutrons known as?
Isotopes are elements that differ in the number of neutrons they have. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in their nuclei but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in varying atomic weights.
Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.
Isotopes of the same element differ in their number of .?
neutrons
What can you say about the basis difference in isotopes?
Isotopes of the same element ONLY differ in mass.
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of protons?
An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of electrons?
No. The only difference between 2 isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons.
Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons?
isotopes
How does no of protons and neutrons differ in number of the same element?
Isotopes
