What are different types of the same element called?
Different types of the same element are called isotopes. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in variations in atomic mass.
What are atoms with mor neutrons than protons?
Atoms with more neutrons than protons are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They can have different atomic weights but similar chemical properties.
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
Why is an atomic form of an element called when it contains the same number or protons but different number of neutrons?
istope
Do all atoms of the same element contain the same number of netrons?
No, atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons. These variations in neutron number result in different isotopes of the element.
What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
What is an atom of an element that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons called?
It is called an isotope.
Atom of an element with a different number of protons?
This is not possible. The number of protons identifies an element, and all of the atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. The atoms of an element can, however, have different numbers of neutrons, and they are called isotopes.
What is the number of protons and neutrons called?
The number protons in an atom is called the atomic number (it is this number that tells us which element the atom is). The number of neutrons in an atom can change, but the term for the amount of neutrons is called an isotope. The number of protons and neutrons added together is called the atomic mass.
What are the atoms of the same element that the same numberof protons but different number of neutrons called?
They are called Isotopes
Can atoms of two different elements have the same number of neutrons?
Number of protons in in an element denote the type of element. So you identify element on the number of protons in it. Protons being positively charged can not sit together in a nucleus. They will repel each other. So you do not have an element in which only 2 or more protons and no neutrons are there.It means neutrons act as binding material in an element. So usually equal or more neutrons are there in an element. If same number of neutrons are there in nucleus but different number of protons, then it is no more a same but different element. An element in which different number of neutrons are there are called as Isotope. All element have got one or more Isotopes. So there 'physical' properties would differ but not 'chemical' property.
What are atoms with mor neutrons than protons?
Atoms with more neutrons than protons are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They can have different atomic weights but similar chemical properties.
What are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbres of neutrons called?
Isotopes.
What is it called if an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons than protons?
We call them isotopes. They are different from physical behavior.
Atoms of the same element having different sums of protons and neutrons are called?
These atoms are called isotopes.
Could two isotopes of an element have different number of protons?
yes, protons affect which element an atom is. Each isotope of different elements has generally a different number of neutrons. Isotopes with the same neutron number are called isotones.
Do all atoms of the same element contain the same number of netrons?
No, atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons. These variations in neutron number result in different isotopes of the element.
