Interpretation:
Whether the atoms of different elements have the same
Concept introduction:
Each element has a definite number of protons in its nucleus. The number of protons present in the atomic nucleus is known as atomic number. The mass number is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons.
Answer to Problem 1CE
The atoms of different elements cannot have the same atomic number.
Explanation of Solution
The number of protons present in the atomic nucleus is known as atomic number. The atoms of different elements have different number of protons. Therefore, the atoms of different of elements have different atomic number.
Therefore, the atoms of different elements cannot have the same atomic number.
