Not isomers, Isotopes
yes
Francium has 87 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope and francium has ca. 40 isotopes ad isomers. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - 87
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
Called: Isomers (same mass, same atom number, different agitation level (= energy))
Not isomers, Isotopes
Francium has 87 protons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope and francium has approx. 40 isotopes and isomers. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - 87
yes
Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called "isotopes".
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.

Isotopes involve different atomic masses. It is sum of number of protons and neutrons.
The number of protons (and electrons in a neutral atom) is identical. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
There are 6 protons in carbon. The weights of the different isotopes are due to different numbers of neutrons.
Same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
