They would have to be atoms of the same element, and the same isotope of that element.

What will always be different in the isotops of atoms?
Atomic Mass
Are all sample of elements are composed of atoms with same atomic mass?
All atoms in a pure sample of one element have the same mass. The atoms in a different element have a different mass. Different atoms is what makes different elements.
What are atoms of an element have the same atomic number but a different atomic mass?
isotope
Two atoms with the same atomic number but different atomic weight?
Atoms of the same element have different isotopes, differing only in number of neutrons (so differing in mass number, atomic mass).
What are atoms with the same atomic number but different mass called?
Atoms with the same atomic number are all atoms of the same element. However, if the atoms have different molecular weights, they are isotopes of the same element.
Atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons and a different atomic mass are what?
isotopes
Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.
Are the atoms in a piece of iron different from the atoms in a piece of tin?
Yes. Their atomic mass is different, among other things.
What is the atomic mass of milk?
Milk is a solution of many different atoms. Atomic mass only refers to the mass of a single type of atom. Milk may have a "molecular mass" but you need to determine all of the different atoms in milk and then add their masses together.
Atoms that have the same atomic numbers but different atomic weights are called what?
If they have the same atomic number but different mass, then they have a different number of neutrons, and they are called ISOTOPES.
What is it called when atoms of the same element that have a different atomic weight?
Atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons), but different mass numbers (i.e. different mass) are called isotopes. The difference in mass is due to different numbers of neutrons. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope
How are atomic mass and atomic number different?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of an element. Atomic number is unique to each element. Atomic Mass is the combined mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of an element.
