These dissimilarities are caused by different numbers of neutrons, while the number of protons are the same in the atomic nucleus. As carbon 12 ( 6 C 12 ), carbon 13 ( 6 C 13 ), and carbon 14 ( 6 C 14 ) are isotrops of element carbon.612613614Springer Berlin Heidelberg...
Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element that differ in neutron numbe, although all isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons in each atom. Isotope labeling is a common application of isotope, that is, the use of unusual isotopes as tracers or markers in chemi...
if their nucleus has the same number of protons (same charges) but a different number of neutrons (different mass numbers). Because their electronic shells must balance the nuclear charge, isotopes have the same electronic configuration and, hence, very similar chemical properties. Isotopes can be...
Isotope and nuclide are closely related terms. When one speaks of isotopes, they are referring to the set of nuclides that have the same number of protons. Nuclide is a more general term, referring to a nuclear species that may or may not be isotopes of a single element. Examples: ...
Isotopes of the same element (of the same Z = number of protons or atomic number of element) are by definition nuclides with different mass m and mass number A (A = Z + N) due to the different number of neutrons (N) in the nucleus. Isotope analyses are of special interest for ...
Isotopes of a particular element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons in the nucleus，resulting in a different atomic mass. For example，the most common element in the universe，hydrogen，by definition contains one proton in its nucleus，but it can ...
An isotope is defined by their mass number, as the atomic number of the isotope is the same. Answer and Explanation:1 In an isotope, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons, but the number of neutrons is different. Isotope is distinguished... ...
Stable isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons in the atom’s nucleus. From: Forensic Genetic Approaches for Identification of Human Skeletal Remains, 2023
\▐ī-sә-▐tōp\n[is- + Gktoposplace] (1913) In chemistry, one of two or more forms of an element (“nuclides”) having the same number of protons in the nucleus but differing in mass number because of different numbers of neutrons. Natural elements are usually mixtures of isoto...
(nuclear physics) Any of two or more forms of an element where the atoms have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons within their nuclei. Thus, isotopes have the same atomic number but a different mass number. Isomer (Physics) Any of two or more nuclei with the...
