Answer:

They all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Explanation:

Elements will always have the same number of protons no matter the isotopes. Isotopes only change the number of neutrons. Silicon will always have 14 protons. So silicon-28 has 14 protons and 14 neutrons. Silicon-29 has 14 protons and 15 neutrons. Silicon-30 has 14 protons and 16 neutrons.

One isotope of oxygen differs from another isotope of oxygen in *

Reptile [31]

Each isotope of Oxygen has a different number of neutrons

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

Isotopes are atoms has the same number of protons but has a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

Some of the isotopes of oxygen are:

$\tt _8^{16}O,_8^{17}O,_8^{18}O$

Each isotope has 8 protons and 8 electrons but has a different number of neutrons

For O-16: number of neutrons = 16-8 = 8

For O-17: number of neutrons = 17-8 = 9

For O-18: number of neutrons = 18-8 = 10

Compare and contrast: element, atom, isotope

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Element is made up of the atoms or isotopes. Isotopes are where only neutrons change in number, such as 3 turning to 2 or to 5. Atom is where it is not changed and it is the original, and example is instead of Carbon13 it is just Carbon. I hope this helps.
