Question

Which of the following atomic particles (shown in the figure below) determines what element an atom is? Electron Proton Neutron Atoms of the same element can have different masses. These variants of one element are known as isotopes. Watch the video below to learn more about isotopes. Use the information from the video, along with the information from Lab 7, to fill in the blanks in the statement below with the names of the appropriate atomic particles (protons, neutrons, or electrons). What are isotopes? Now that you've watched the video, complete the blanks in the following statement using the words protons, neutrons, or electrons. Isotopes are atoms with the same number of but a different number of The original radioactive atom, before it undergoes any radioactive decay, is called the atom. When this unstable atom decays, the new atom that is created during the transmutation process is called the atom. parent, daughter isotope, nuclide

Explanation / Answer

1) protons

the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines what element it is.

2) protons , nutrons

isotopes have same number of protons but different number of nuetrons
