True statements: All neutrons are alike, all electrons are alike, all protons are alike (All atoms of a given isotope is only alike). False statement: All atoms are alike All atoms are not alike as they may vary in the number of protons / electrons / neutrons.


Are neutrons in the atoms of different elements alike?

All neutrons are alike. As the name suggests , they are neutrally charged particles in the nucleus of an atom. They carry the same mass as a proton. They are found in the nucleus of an atoms together with the protons. However, atoms of a given element are isotopes of one another, if they have a different number of neutrons. e.g. Hydrogen , exhibits three isotopes. #1 protium ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 1 electron.( commonest isotope) #2 deuterium ; 1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron. ( heavy hydrogen) #3 tritium ; 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron. ( super heavy hydrogen and radio -active). Note in this table the number of neutrons in each isotope. The next element in the Periodic Table is Helium #1 helium ; 2 proton, 2 neutrons, 2 electron. Note the same number of neutrons as tritium , but now has two protons. A Neutron, in nuclear physics, can disintegrate to form a proton and an electron.


Who proposed the atom theory that all matter is composed of atoms and that all atoms of an element are alike?

John Dalton proposed the atom theory in the early 19th century. He suggested that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms, and that all atoms of a specific element are identical in size, mass, and properties.
