well because in springfield thre are nuclear plants right, and isotopes have something to do with that, look up pictures of them, therefore that's probably why they gave them that name, to represent sprinfgield (again known for the nuclear plant)

Illinois _____________________________________________________________________ There are lots of places called Springfield all over the world, including in many US states. However, the capital city of Illinois is called Springfield, so it is probably the most well-known.


What are atoms of the same element that have different neutron numbers called?

Every atom of the same element is also categorized by its number of neutrons. An atom with a certain number of neutrons is an "isotope." Two atoms of the same element (same quantity of protons) can be different isotopes (different quantity of neutrons). Some isotopes are unstable, so most stable isotopes of an element are withing a range of a few numbers. For example, stable isotopes of carbon are Carbon-12 and Carbon-13.


What is the name for different forms of the same element?

ALLOTROPES are forms of an element where the atoms are arranged in different shapes and so they have different properties. The allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite and buckyballs. Phosphorus has several allotropes (including white phosphorus and red phosphorus). Sulphur also has several allotropes. An alternative answer to the question is different atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses are called ISOTOPES.


What isotope uranium is radioactive?

Yes.......most likely. I can't think of anything to do with Uranium, that isn't radioactive! -------- Uranium natural isotopes are not so radioactive compared with other isotopes; but all the isotopes of uranium are radioactive.

Why is the atomic weight of bromine listed on the periodic table not a whole number?

Like almost all of the other elements bromine is a mixture of so-called isotopes. All of these isotopes are bromine and have almost identical chemical properties. They all have the same number of protons in the nuclei of their atoms. However, the numbers of neutrons in their nuclei vary. The atoms of some isotopes of bromine are a little heavier than the atoms of other isotopes. The atomic weight of bromine is the average weight of all of the isotopes of bromine, so it cannot be a whole number.


Does Springfield Wyoming exist?

There is no town in the state of Wyoming named Springfield. If you are asking about the town of Springfield in the TV show "The Simpsons", it is not known where that town of Springfield is located. The TV show is a work of fiction so the town of Springfield is also fictional.


Atoms that naturally undergo nuclear fissions are called?

These are called fissile or fissionable. Fissile isotopes undergo fission, producing sufficient neutrons of sufficient power that a chain reaction can happen, if there is enough of the isotope to support it. The mass sufficient to support a chain reaction is called critical. Atoms of fissionable isotopes will undergo fission when a sufficiently energetic neutron collides with them, but the neutrons they emit when they divide are either insufficient in number or insufficient in energy to sustain an chain reaction. There is a third type of material that can undergo fission, called fertile, which is isotopes that can be caused to capture neutrons, changing into fissile or fissionable isotopes, so the fission does not happen to atoms of the fertile material directly, but to the atoms of the isotopes they become.
