Actually, there are only about 100 atoms that have been yet discovered. But each element has many different kinds of atom. For instance, carbon. Do you know carbon has more than 30 or 50 different types of atoms? Well, how? There are isotopes. Don't think that there is only one carbon atom which has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 6 neutrons. There are more. C-13 has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 7 neutrons. While, C-14 has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 8 neutrons. I just showed you three stable isotopes of carbon(element). But, what is really an isotope?? Did you notice that all of these atoms had the same number of protons and electron but different numbers of neutrons? This is really an isotope. Well, if an atom takes a few more electrons or gives off a few electrons, it still stays the same element/ atom type. Just like that an element can have atoms of different neutron number. It may be less or more. It doesn't affect the atom much: just makes an isotope. But it does affect the atomic mass number or radioactivity of an atom. So, an element can have many different forms of isotopes of its atoms. In this way, being only 100 atoms, there can 1000 atoms or (more than that!).
To make it more clear-
Definition of ISOTOPE: <span>any of two or more forms of a </span>chemical<span> element, having the same number of protons and electrons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons</span>

Answer:
Decreases
Explanation:
The atmospheric pressure on the surface of the mercury pushes it up the evacuated tube until the downward pressure of the mercury equals the atmospheric pressure.
If the atmospheric pressure decreases, the mercury doesn't have to rise as high.
The mercury height decreases.
Hey there!
The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.007 amu.
This information is found on the periodic table, below the symbol for the element.
Nitrogen is located in the 2nd period and the 15th group.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
D) The particles in lead are more spread out than those in corn oil.
Explanation:
The higher density an object has, the less spread out the particles in the object is. SInce lead's density is 11.35 and corn oil's density is 0.90, corn oil's particles would be more spread out.
