mass number minus atomic number. The isotopes are similar because they have the same number of electrons which determines the properties of an element. They are different because they have a different number of neutrons. 7. Explain how two isotopes of an element are similar. Explain how they are different. * Two atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons are isotopes. Neutrons are the neutral particles found in atoms. The isotopes have the same number of electrons which

thirty six in the periodic table it is in group eighteen period four. It is a part of the noble gas series. Its atomic number is thirty six and its atomic mass is eighty three point seven nine eight. It has forty eight neutrons in its most sufficient isotope that are in four different electron shells. It was discovered by Chemist Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers in the year eighteen ninety eight. It was found in London when Sir William Ramsay made a statement that there had to be more elements because

cells. They asked which part of the virus is responsible to enter the E. coli cell during infection‚ DNA or protein? In their experiment‚ they used radioactive isotopes to tag phage DNA (radioactive phosphorus) and protein (radioactive sulfur) because protein contains sulfur and DNA contains phosphorus hence the reason behind the radioactive isotopes. They then allowed separate samples of nonradioactive E. coli cells to be infected by the protein and DNA labeled batches of T2. Then they tested to

1. The earth consists of iron‚ oxygen‚ silicon and magnesium. This makes up about 90% of the earth’s elements. Jupiter and Saturn on the other hand consist mostly of volatile gases like water‚ methane and ammonia. These two planets retained their volatiles due to their greater gravitational force. 2. Scientist believe that the collision of earth with a smaller body caused the earth to tilt on it axis at 23 degrees. The blasting debris is said to have formed the moon. The period from the accretion

Radioactive decay is the process by which an atomic nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting ionizing particles (ionizing radiation). There are many different types of radioactive decay (see table below). A decay‚ or loss of energy‚ results when an atom with one type of nucleus‚ called the parent radionuclide‚ transforms to an atom with a nucleus in a different state‚ or to a different nucleus containing different numbers of protons and neutrons. Either of these products is named the

neutron number may vary‚ so mass number (protons + neutrons) may vary. However‚ the same element may contain varying numbers of neutrons; these forms of an element are called isotopes. The chemical properties of isotopes are the same‚ although the physical properties of some isotopes may be different. Some isotopes are radioactive-meaning they "radiate" energy as they decay to a more stable form‚ perhaps another element half-life: time required for half of the atoms of an element to decay into stable
