Using what you know about the particles that make up an atom, compare and contrast stable atoms, atoms of different elements, and isotopes. Must be at least 3 sentences. Best answer gets brainliest!

Explanation:

Stable atoms:A stable atom has a net charge of 0. In other words, it has an equal number of protons and electrons. The positive protons cancel out the negative electrons. When the number of electrons does not equal the number of protons, the atom is ionized. (The atom is then called an ion).

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.

The atoms of different elements have different numbers of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Every element is unique and has an atomic number. That number tells you the number of protons in every atom of the element.
