Yes, and they are called isotopes.

What do you call the several different forms of an element having different atomic mass and number of neutrons?
We call these different "flavors" of an element the isotopes of that element.
Define the term isotope?
Any of two or more forms of a chemical element, having the same number of protons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, or different atomic weights.
Form of an element having different atomic and number of neutrons?
Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
What element has the Same atomic number but different number of neutrons?
Almost all the elements have different isotopes having same atomic no but different mass no or neutrons.
How is the order different to the first attempt in the periodic table?
The order in the first attempt in the periodic table was in the increasing order of atomic weights of atoms. This gave 2 different places for isotopes of the same element with same properties and the same place for isobars with different properties. This was so because chemical properties of an element depends on its number of electrons which is basically given by the atomic number and not atomic weight. Again the lanthanides and actinides had different places inspite of having similar properties due to same atomic number.
What do you called in an element having the same atomic number but different atomic masses?
Isotopes. eg U235 and U238. Both Uranium, atomic number 92, bur different isotopes.
How do you know the difference between isotopes and an element?
Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of electrons.
What is another name for the newly formed isotope?
There isn't another name for isotopes. What it means is Any two or more forms of a chemical element, having the same number of protons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, or different atomic weights. There are 275 isotopes of the 81 stable elements, in addition to over 800 radioactive isotopic forms.
Is an element a pure substance made up of two kinds of atoms?
No, an element is a pure substance having a specified atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. There may be isotopes of an element having different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.
What is the relationship between mass number and atomic mass of an element?
Each isotope of an element has an atomic mass. The average of all the atomic masses of an element's isotopes gives an elements atomic weight. For this reason, atomic weights are decimal numbers.
What is an isotope chemistry?
In chemistry isotopes are atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons and may having have atomic number
A substance that is composed entirely of atoms which all have the same number of protons in their nuclei is known as?
two elements having the same number of protons, but differeing in the number of neutrons; thus having slightly different molecular weights are called isotopes of that element...ex. Boron-10(has an atomic mass of 10.012937u) and Boron- 11(has an atomic mass of 11.009305u) Each isotope of Boron has 5 protons, they differed in the number of neutrons which gave each a slightly different atomic mass. note:if two elements have a different number of protons they are no longer the same element or even isotopes of that element..the amount of protons is like a way to identify which atom is which.
