Could two isotopes of an element have different number of protons?

yes, protons affect which element an atom is.
Each isotope of different elements has generally a different number of neutrons.
Isotopes with the same neutron number are called isotones.

∙ 13y agono if you take away protons it is an isotope of another element.

Are the Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and?
The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
How are the isotopes of an element are alike and how are they different?
The isotopes of an element are alike in that they have the same number of protons, electrons, and the same chemical properties. The isotopes are different in that they have different numbers of neutrons and thus different atomic masses.
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of protons?
An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).
Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of what?
They have the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.
What are elements with identical number for protons and different number of neutrons called?
The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.
Two isotopes of the element rubidium differ in their number of protons?
no isotopes of a particular chemical element all have the same number of protons
Which atoms that are same element and have the same number of protons but have different number of neutrons?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element, having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
Are the Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and?
The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
How are isotopes the same but different?
Isotopes are different forms of the same element which have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. A given element is identified by the number of protons in its nucleus; that's its atomic number. Two different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but each has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. Different isotopes of the same element are chemically the same.
What do different isotopes of a particular element contain the different number of?
Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
What are different types of the same element called?
If an atom of the same element has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, then they are isotopes.
How are the isotopes of an element are alike and how are they different?
The isotopes of an element are alike in that they have the same number of protons, electrons, and the same chemical properties. The isotopes are different in that they have different numbers of neutrons and thus different atomic masses.
Isotopes can have the same what?
Isotopes of an element have the same numbers of protons in the nucleus (and corresponding electrons). It's not so much "can have", as "do have". It's just a different number of neutrons that makes a different isotope.
Isotopes of the same element have differnt?
Different numbers of neutrons and hence different physical properties.
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of protons?
An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).
Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of protons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
Do both isotopes have the same mass number?
An Isotope of an element is an atom that has the same number of protons, (number of protons is the defining feature of an element) but different number of neutrons.Because The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, different isotopes have different mass numbers.
