Do atoms have neutrons in them?

Atoms of all elements can have neutrons in them. Only the element hydrogen has an isotope whose atoms do not contain neutrons, but all other isotopes of hydrogen have neutrons in them.

In the heavier elements the number of neutrons always exceeds the number of protons in the atom.

An atom of an element has 54 protons some of the elements atoms have 77 neutrons while other atoms have 79 neutrons what are the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the two types of atoms of this el?

The atomic number for an element with 54 protons is 54. For the atoms with 77 neutrons, the mass number would be 54 (protons) + 77 (neutrons) = 131. For the atoms with 79 neutrons, the mass number would be 54 (protons) + 79 (neutrons) = 133.

Do uncombined atoms have the same number of neutrons as protons?

Uncombined atoms have the same number of neutrons as protons only if they are isotopes of the element, which means the atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Otherwise, atoms with the same number of protons and neutrons would be considered as different elements.


Do all of the atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons?

Yes, all atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons.
