How are elements determind?
Elelments are determined by the amount of protons they have. While different elements can have the same number of neutrons and protons, no two different elements can have the same amount of protons.
Can two different element have the same number of proton?
Two different will always have different numbers of protons as the number of protons defines which element an atom is. However, two isotopes of different elements can have the same number of neutrons. For example the isotope carbon-13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons while nitrogen-14 has 7 protons and 7 neutrons.
What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
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.
What name is given to elements with the same number of protons but different neutrons?

What name is given to elements of the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?
IsotopeIsotopes
Isotopes of uncharged elements have different numbers of which of these?
Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons Neutrons (:
If two atoms with the same number of protons and different neutrons are they still the same element?
Yes, elements are groups of atoms with the same number of protons.
What is the same about isotopes of the same elements?
The isotopes of the same element have an identical number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
What are two elments with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons called?
Two atoms with the same number of protons are not two elements but one element. If they have differing numbers of neutrons, however, they are said to be of different isotopes.
Do all atoms of the same element contain the same number of netrons?
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
Do isotopes of carbon have the same number of neutrons and different numbers of protons?
No, it is just the other way around!All isotopes of one particular element have the same number of protons (specific for that element) but are differing in neutron number.Example:Uranium has 92 protons (same as atomic number),butisotope U(235) has 143 neutrons and 92 protons (143+92=235)andisotope U(238) has 146 neutrons and 92 protons (146+92=238).
Why do elements always have the same atomic numbers but not the same atomic mass?
Most elements have isotopes---atoms that have the same number of protons (and hence they are still that element) but different numbers of neutrons. For instance, sulfur found in nature has four stable isotopes: S-32 16 protons 16 neutrons S-33 16 protons 17 neutrons S-34 16 protons 18 neutrons S-36 16 protons 20 neutrons Each of these isotopes has a different mass, but all are sulfur because they have 16 protons.
