Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
How do the atomic number of the different isotopes an element compare?
The atomic number is the same for the all isotopes of a chemical element.
Why do two isotopes of an element have the same atomic number but differnent mass number?
Because the atomic number is the number of protons in an element. If you change the atomic number you will have a completely different element. The mass number changes because the number of neutrons is different.
Does the atomic number change in the three isotopes of hydrogen?
No the atomic number is same for the three isotopes of hydrogen (it is 1). The three isotopes of hydrogen differ by the number of neutrons.
What do two different neutral isotopes of the same element have in common nuclear number atomic mass nuclear mass atomic number?
The atomic number is the same for all isotopes.
What atoms with same atomic number but different atomic masses?
Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons (same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, leading to different atomic masses. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon with atomic number 6 but atomic masses of 12 and 14 respectively.
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Do the atomic number of isotopes differ?
No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.
Atoms that have the same atomic numbers but different atomic weights are called what?
If they have the same atomic number but different mass, then they have a different number of neutrons, and they are called ISOTOPES.
How do the atomic number of the different isotopes an element compare?
The atomic number is the same for the all isotopes of a chemical element.
Why do two isotopes of an element have the same atomic number but differnent mass number?
Because the atomic number is the number of protons in an element. If you change the atomic number you will have a completely different element. The mass number changes because the number of neutrons is different.
Does the atomic number change in the three isotopes of hydrogen?
No the atomic number is same for the three isotopes of hydrogen (it is 1). The three isotopes of hydrogen differ by the number of neutrons.
Do isotopes have the same A number?
The atomic number is the same for the isotopes of a chemical element.
How atomic number related isotope?
Atomic number is not related to isotopes.
What do you called in an element having the same atomic number but different atomic masses?
Isotopes. eg U235 and U238. Both Uranium, atomic number 92, bur different isotopes.
What do two different neutral isotopes of the same element have in common nuclear number atomic mass nuclear mass atomic number?
The atomic number is the same for all isotopes.
What are atoms with same atomic mass but different atomic numbers called?
Atoms with the same atomic mass but different atomic numbers are called isotopes. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nucleus, which results in differences in atomic number.
