Yes, it is possible; example for the mass number 234:
- uranium-234: 92 protons + 142 neutrons
- thorium-234: 90 protons + 144 neutrons

What are the atoms called then they have the same atomic number but different mass numbers?
They are called as isotopes in which mass number differ by emmision of radiation
What are atoms that have the same number of protons but different mass number?
isotopes
Two atoms with the same atomic number but different atomic weight?
Atoms of the same element have different isotopes, differing only in number of neutrons (so differing in mass number, atomic mass).
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but a different?
Isotopes are atoms of a given element that have the same number of protons but a different mass number and therefore a different number of neutrons.
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What are atoms that have different masses but the number of protons?
Atoms that have different mass numbers but the [same] number of protons are called isotopes.
Elements that differ in mass number are?
Such atoms are isotopes and belong to the same element.
Which two notations represent atoms that are isotopes of the same element?
The two notations represent atoms that are isotopes of the same element is 121 Sn and 119 Sn. The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that elements naturally occurring isotopes.
Do isotopes have the same atomic number and different mass numbers?
Yes. Isotopes have the same atomic number because all of their atoms have the same number of protons. They have different mass numbers because their atoms have different numbers of neutrons, and mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons.
What is the term for atoms of the same element that differ in their mass numbers?
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
Most calcium atoms have an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 40 but some calcium atoms have a mass number of 48 What word could you use to describe these two kinds of calcium atoms?
Isotopes.
Atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons and a different atomic mass are what?
isotopes
