It's an atom with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons and thus, a different mass number.

Explanation: Every atom/element is defined by its protons so if it has 1 atom it's hydrogen no matter what, if it has 2 protons it's helium no matter what and so on. If you know the number or protons, you know the element.

You can change the number of neutrons in the nucleus and you'll get isotopes. So atoms that have different numbers of neutrons are isotopes of each other. However, the element is the same but one is going to be a little bit heavier or lighter than another.

So, isotopes are different versions of an element.

Give the ground-state electron configuration for silicon (SiSi) using noble-gas shorthand. Express your answer in condensed form
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

[Ne] 3s² 3p²

Explanation:

Silicon atoms have 14 electrons. The ground state electron configuration of ground state gaseous neutral silicon is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p².

Using noble gas shorthand, the electronic configuration is reduced to;

[Ne] 3s² 3p². Ne s the nearest noble gas to silicon, Ne contains 8 electrons, this means there's still 4 more electrons to fill. The s orrbital can only hold 2, hence the reaing two is transferred to the p orbital.

Compared to the charge of a proton, the charge of all electron has
Kay [80]
<span>Answer: option (4) the same magnitude and the opposite sign.
</span>
Justification:
<span /><span /><span>
</span><span>1) Electrons are negative particles thar are around the nucleus of the atom (in regions called orbitals).
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
2) Protons are positive particles that are inside the nuclus of the atom.
</span><span />

<span>3) The nucleus of the atom has the same number of protons as electrons are in the orbitals of the atom.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
4) The atoms are neutral (neither positive nor negative) because there are the same number of electrons and protons and their charge are of the same magnitude but different sign: (+) + (-) = 0: positive + negative = neutral.</span>
