Absolutely. Atoms with varying neutron numbers are known as isotopes. Hydrogen has three isotopes. The first, most common is plain old hydrogen one. Heavy water is formed from deuterium, or hydrogen 2 (one proton, one neutron). Tritium (H3) is used in exit signs and watch face dials because it is radioactive, decaying by beta particle emission into helium 3.
Carbon 14 is an unstable isotope of carbon 12, with a half life of about 5700 years. Uranium 235 is the isotope of uranium used to produce fissile nuclear weapons.

Different isotopes of an element contain different numbers of which particles?
The number of neutrons differ for each isotope of a chemical element.
What does isotopes?
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.
Isotopes of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
How do the numbers of protons neutrons and electrons for an element compare?
In the neutral state, all atoms of the same element contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. However, most elements have atoms with different numbers of neutrons. These are called isotopes.
What isotopes of an element contain different Numbers of what?
neutrons
What you mean when you say that a particular element consists of several isotopes?
All atoms of the same element contain the same number of protons and electrons, but atoms of a given element may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. An element has many isotopes--each with a close, but different number of neutrons.
The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?
The difference between isotopes of the same element have to do with the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of an element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass.
Can isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.
The nuclei of isotopes contain different numbers of .?
Neutrons
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.
What does the same element have different numbers of?
Different number of neutrons in isotopes.
What Have different isotopes of the same element?
Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons and mass.
