For the same element the number of protons and electrons remains unaltered.
Howerm for that same element the number of neutrons can vary., leading to different atomic masses.
Taking hydrogen as an example. It has three isotopes.
#1 ; protium ; 1 proton , 0 neutrons (Atomic Mass ; 1 + 0 = 1 )
#2 ; deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 neutron ( Atomic mass ; 1 + 1 = 2)
#3 ; tritium ; 1 proton, 2 neutrons ( Atomic Mass ; 1 + 2 = 3)
Notice for each isotope of hydrogen there is only ONE proton. However, for each different isotope of hydrogen there is a different number of neutrons.
The Atomic Mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons).
#4 ; Helium(He) ; 2 protons, 2 neutrons ( atomic mass 2 + 2 = 4 ).
For comparison helium has 2(TWO) protons and 2 neutrons, but it is an entirely different element, because it has a different number of protons.
No, there are actually 2 protons and 2 neutrons in the helium-4 isotope. The number of protons determines the element, while the sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass of an isotope.
Short-lived isotopes are radioactive isotopes that have a relatively short half-life, which is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay. These isotopes decay rapidly and do not persist in the environment for a long time. They are often used in medical imaging, research, and various industrial applications.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Stable isotopes have a balanced number of protons and neutrons, meaning their nuclei do not decay over time. Unstable isotopes, also known as radioactive isotopes, have an imbalance of protons and neutrons, causing their nuclei to decay and emit radiation over time.
protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The number of neutrons in an atom affects its stability and often determines its nuclear properties.
Uranium-235 (U-235) is an example of a highly unstable isotope that is used in fission reactions. It undergoes spontaneous fission, releasing a large amount of energy and additional neutrons, which can then go on to induce fission in other uranium atoms, leading to a chain reaction.
No, isotopes have the same electrical charge because they have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei, which determines the electrical charge. Isotopes only differ in the number of neutrons, which do not have an electrical charge.
Isotopes are located within the nucleus of an atom. They are variants of a particular chemical element, having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes can exist naturally or be artificially produced.
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. It has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus, compared to regular hydrogen which has only one proton. Deuterium is slightly heavier than regular hydrogen and is often used in laboratory experiments and as a tracer in scientific studies.
The atomic particle that determines a specific isotope is the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Isotopes are different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The number of neutrons affects the mass of the atom and gives rise to different isotopes with varying atomic weights.
Deuterium (2H) is commonly used as a trace isotope in organic chemistry. It is a stable isotope of hydrogen that differs from the most common isotope, protium (1H), by having an additional neutron in its nucleus. Deuterium is useful in studying chemical reactions and metabolic pathways in organic molecules.
The most common instrument used to measure isotopes is a mass spectrometer. Mass spectrometry allows scientists to accurately determine the mass and abundance of isotopes in a sample. It works by ionizing the atoms in the sample and separating them based on their mass-to-charge ratio.
An isotope like carbon-14 can be used to date dead organisms by counting the atoms with a machine.
they have different numbers of electrons
I hope it works bye :)
This is the time in which half the the atoms was disintegrated.
12.5% is remaining.

I'm assuming that by "change" you mean alter the quantity thereof. If you want to actually change a proton into a nuetron and eject a positron, that requires a nuclear reaction.
The protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and serve to define the atom, while the electrons orbit the nucleus and ultimately determine the atom's charge. Electrons can be removed or added with a certain amount of energy. This energy is relatively small compared to the massive amounts required to alter the subatomic particles within the nucleus.
They have the same number of protons (and of electrons) and so their chemical properties are the same.
One doesn't generally "calculate" the number of neutrons. The number of neutrons in an atom is always equal to the number of protons, and the number of protons can be found on the Periodic Table of Elements, which can easily be found on the internet or in a science textbook.
Statistically carbon-14 atoms decay at a constant rate.
No, 1-hexyne is not an isotope.
Isotopes are same elements that have the same number of protons (and therefore the same chemical properties) but different numbers of neutrons. They have slightly different atomic masses due to the varying number of neutrons in their nuclei.
1-hexyne, on the other hand, is a specific chemical compound. It is an alkyne with the molecular formula C6H10 and a carbon-carbon triple bond at the first position in a hexane chain. Isotopes are not specific chemical compounds, but they are variations of elements.
