Why can 2 atoms of the same element have different numbers of neutrons but must always have the same number of protons explain please?

Without the same number of protons it would be a completely different element on the Periodic Table and would be considerd an isomer. Take Chlorine-35 and Chlorine-37 for example... they are also isomers because they have a different number of protons. Therefore are different elements.

Different isotopes of an element contain different numbers of which particles?
The number of neutrons differ for each isotope of a chemical element.
Can isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.
What does isotopes?
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
Is it true Different isotopes for the same element will always have the same numbers of neutrons?
Yes. it is true. Isotopes of the same element always have different number of neutrons.
Is it true that atoms of a particular element can have different numbers of neutrons?
yes
Isotopes of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
Define the term isotope explain how two isotopes of an element are different?
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. I hope I helped! ^_^

What does the same element have different numbers of?
Different number of neutrons in isotopes.
What Have different isotopes of the same element?
Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons and mass.
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 is an element that has different numbers of neutrons?
It's called an isotope.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that different numbers of?
Neutrons.
Is mixtures or isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons?
Atoms have isotopes: it is true, the isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.
What are the different forms called in an element that has forms with different numbers of neutrons?
Isotopes
How do isoptopes of an element differ from each other?
Isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons.
