Yes, the atomic number refers to the number of protons in an element
Isotopes.
If an atom of the same element has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, then they are isotopes.
All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.

No, isotopes have the same number of protons as the standard atom of that element. Isotopes are variants of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass.
No, that's an ion. An isotope is an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Isotopes of the same element also have the same number of electrons and the electronic structure.
Isotopes.
An atom's mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. It is used to identify isotopes of an element since isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
An isotope is an atom of an element. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. However, all atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.
The pair below that describes isotopes of the same element is B, an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons-an atom with 6 protons. It is not A, an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons- an atom with 8 protons and 6 neutrons. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, which is the atomic number of the element.
The main difference between isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons, which affects their atomic mass.
