If it is a pure element, yes usually but not always.

If it is a mix of isotopes then no. Carbon for example is not pure C12 - with 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Naturally there is some C13 and traces of C14 with 7 and 8 neutrons respectively present.

No. Different atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons. They are called isotopes. The mass number of an isotope is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes are identified by their mass numbers, for example, carbon-12 and carbon-14.

No. Generally definition of an element refer to a group of atoms that have same number of protons and share same chemical properties and called isotopes of an element. Though weight of isotopes can differ representing difference in neutron number.

Yes, all atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons.


Why do all atoms of an element have the same chemical prperties?

Because they are all the same type of atoms. Oxygen is an element. If you have 10 oxygen atoms, they will all behave like oxygen, since they are the same element.

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.
