What determines the different isotopes of an atom?
The number of neutrons in the atom's nucleus determines the different isotopes of an atom. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (which determines the element) but a different number of neutrons. This can result in variations in atomic mass and stability.
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain are known as?
they are known as isotopes. Dont ask people to do your homework
What are some of the roles of isotopes?
- Isotopes are used as sources of radiation in medicine, sterilization, nondestructive control, etc.- Isotopes can be used as tracers- Isotopes can be used as energy source- Isotopes are used for radioactive dating- Isotopes are used in chemical analysis- Isotopes are used in many instruments- Isotopes are used as source of nuclear energy in bombs and nuclear reactorsetc.
What isotopes of plutonium are natural?
Plutonium has no natural isotopes. All plutonium isotopes are artificially produced through nuclear reactions.
