Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of an element have the same atomic number, but different mass numbers.

What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?

An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.

What is isotope and radio isotope?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Radioisotopes are isotopes that are unstable and undergo radioactive decay, emitting radiation in the process. They are commonly used in medicine, industry, and research.


What are the different forms called in an element that has forms with different numbers of neautrons?

Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons; the different possible versions of each element are called isotopes. For example, the most common isotope of hydrogen has no neutrons at all; there's also a hydrogen isotope called deuterium, with one neutron, and another, tritium, with two neutrons.


What property is different in and isotope of an element?

The number of neutrons is different in isotopes of an element. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons (which defines the element) but different numbers of neutrons. This variation in neutron number gives rise to different atomic masses among isotopes of an element.
