Are two atoms of different elements because they have close but different masses?

An element is made up of only one type of atom. Atoms are only different from each other due to their atomic number - which is the number of protons.
Different elements may have different relative atomic masses, but it is the differing number of protons in each atom that determines which element it is.

What has different atomic masses?
Different atoms and elements that have different number of protns, neutrons and electrons.Duh!
What do you call atoms of the same element with different atomic masses?
They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.

Do molecules and atoms have weight?
Atoms are matter, and all matter has mass. In that light, any (and every) atom has mass. Different atoms of different elements have different masses, as you would expect. As atomic numbers increase, the atomic mass of an atom increases, but we also need to account for the different isotopes of different elements. Isotopes are different "configurations" of the same element where there are different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. This gives rise to different masses for different elements, and also for different isotopes of the elements. There is more to this discussion, and there are other questions here that are already posted and answered. Some of them are linked below.
Where are elements form of two of the same atoms found on the periodic table?
Isotopes are the same atoms with different masses. Example is carbon-12 and carbon-14

that is isotop

Why do different elements have different properties?
Elements have different properties because elements can be further divided than atoms and can be mixed by another element
Why are atoms and elements alike?
Because the differences in atoms make different elements. Elements are multiple of similar atoms.

Why is it useful to have symbols for atoms of different element?
atoms have symbols so that the atoms of different elements can be distinguished easily.

Do atoms have the same properties as an element?
All atoms are elements. Single (or even a "few") atoms do not have the properties of large masses of atoms.
