Difference between Atomic number and Isotope

Atomic number vs. Isotope

The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number.

Similarities between Atomic number and Isotope

Atomic number and Isotope have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atom, Atomic mass, Atomic nucleus, Atomic number, Chemical element, Electron, Half-life, Isotope, Mass number, Neutron number, Nuclear reaction, Periodic table, Proton, Unified atomic mass unit.

Atom

An atom is the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element.

Atomic nucleus

The atomic nucleus is the small, dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford based on the 1909 Geiger–Marsden gold foil experiment.

Chemical element

A chemical element is a species of atoms having the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei (that is, the same atomic number, or Z).

Mass number

The mass number (symbol A, from the German word Atomgewichte (atomic weight), also called atomic mass number or nucleon number, is the total number of protons and neutrons (together known as nucleons) in an atomic nucleus. It determines the atomic mass of atoms. Because protons and neutrons both are baryons, the mass number A is identical with the baryon number B as of the nucleus as of the whole atom or ion. The mass number is different for each different isotope of a chemical element. This is not the same as the atomic number (Z) which denotes the number of protons in a nucleus, and thus uniquely identifies an element. Hence, the difference between the mass number and the atomic number gives the number of neutrons (N) in a given nucleus:. The mass number is written either after the element name or as a superscript to the left of an element's symbol. For example, the most common isotope of carbon is carbon-12, or, which has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. The full isotope symbol would also have the atomic number (Z) as a subscript to the left of the element symbol directly below the mass number:. This is technically redundant, as each element is defined by its atomic number, so it is often omitted.

Neutron number

The neutron number, symbol N, is the number of neutrons in a nuclide.

Nuclear reaction

In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, a nuclear reaction is semantically considered to be the process in which two nuclei, or else a nucleus of an atom and a subatomic particle (such as a proton, neutron, or high energy electron) from outside the atom, collide to produce one or more nuclides that are different from the nuclide(s) that began the process.
