What do an atom ion of an element have in common?
They all have the same atomic number. They all have the same number of electrons. e. They all have identical chemical properties.
What do isotopes of the same element all have in common?
Atoms of the same element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons, are known as isotopes. Isotopes of any given element all contain the same number of protons, so they have the same atomic number (for example, the atomic number of helium is always 2).
What does all element have in common?
The common feature is that the atoms of all elements consist of electrons, protons, and neutrons.
What do all hydrogen atoms and ions have in common?
What structural characteristics do all hydrogen atoms have in common? Each hydrogen atom has the same number of protons (1) and the same number of electrons (1). It tells you the total number of protons plus neutrons. The mass number is not found on the periodic table.
What do all hydrogen isotopes have in common that distinguishes them from atoms and isotopes of other elements?
How do we distinguish between them? They each have one single proton (Z = 1), but differ in the number of their neutrons. Hydrogen has no neutron, deuterium has one, and tritium has two neutrons. The atoms of these isotopes have one electron to balance the charge of the one proton.
Do all atoms of the same element have in common?
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, but some may have different numbers of neutrons. For example, all carbon atoms have six protons, and most have six neutrons as well.
How are atoms of all elements alike?
Although two such atoms are essentially chemically identical (they will chemically react in the same way), they are not completely identical. The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons and protons bonded tightly together. The same chemical element can have a different number of neutrons and still be the same element.
What do all nickel atoms have in common?
Nickel Basics The number of positively charged protons in nickel’s nucleus means that neutral nickel atoms have 28 total electrons. The outermost, or valence, electrons occupy cloud-like regions, or orbitals, and the two valence electrons of nickel atoms can be lost relatively easily to form two common ions.
What do all hydrogen have in common?
They each have one single proton (Z = 1), but differ in the number of their neutrons. Hydrogen has no neutron, deuterium has one, and tritium has two neutrons. The isotopes of hydrogen have, respectively, mass numbers of one, two, and three. Their nuclear symbols are therefore 1H, 2H, and 3H.
Are all atoms of the same element different?
No. Two atoms of the same chemical element are typically not identical. Since the states of the electrons in an atom are what determine the nature of the chemical bonding that the atom experiences, two atoms of the same element can react differently if they are in different states.
Do isotopes of the same element differ?
1. Basic principles. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons. The difference in the number of neutrons between the various isotopes of an element means that the various isotopes have different masses.
