Q: Is it possible for an element to have different types of atoms? Explain.
Ans: Yes, for an element having different types of atoms, is possible as briefly explained below:
Isotopes are atoms of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons. In short, it means these atoms have same atomic number but different mass number.
For example: Hydrogen element have three isotopes
- Protium (11H)
- Deuterium (12H)
- Tritium (13H)
