An isotope has same number of protons but a different number of neutrons as the original element in the atomic nucleus; it has the same atomic number as the element which isn't an isotope, but will have a different mass number.

How do the isotopes of given element differ from one another?

isotopes of a given element differ in the number of neutrons they have.


How do isotopes of a given element differ?

Isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses. This causes isotopes to have different physical properties, such as differing in stability and radioactive decay rates.


How are isotopes the same but different?

Isotopes are different forms of the same element which have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. A given element is identified by the number of protons in its nucleus; that's its atomic number. Two different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but each has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. Different isotopes of the same element are chemically the same.


What is the name given to pairs of atoms such as protium and deuterium?

Those are different isotopes of the same element. Different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. There are a little over 100 known elements, but over 3000 different known isotopes.


Does all atoms of a given element are alike in all respects?

No, not all atoms of a given element are alike in all respects. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This means isotopes of the same element may behave slightly differently in certain chemical reactions.

Isotopes.


Is All isotopes of a given element are radioactive?

No. The most common isotope(s) of an element are often stable.


Which statement is true Isotopes are atoms of different elements with equal mass. For the same element they have equal numbers of neutrons. Isotopes of a given element have similar chemical properties?

For the same element, isotopes have equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes of a given element have similar chemical properties due to having the same number of electrons, which determines an element's chemical behavior.

Why the isotopes have the same chemical properties?

The identity of a chemical element is given by the number of protons.

How many nutrons does zirconium have?

The number of neutrons for any given element varies, depending on the isotopes. Search the Wikipedia, or Google, for "Isotopes of Zirconium" for the isotopes of this particular element. The list of isotopes will give you the atomic mass (protons + neutrons) for the different isotopes; subtract the atomic number (which is the number of protons) to get the number of neutrons for each isotope.
