By changing the number of neuturons the atom is converted into isotope. As we know the atom is made up of electrons(negative charge),protons(positive charge) and neutrons(no charge),when we change number of electrons in an atom ions are created in the same way change in number of protons create change in the identity of atom and change in neutrons results isotopes
An isotope is a variant of an atom with a different number of neutrons from the parent atom. They are usually formed from the decay of other isotopes or through irradiation.
By striking it with neutrons.
An isotope of an element has a different number of Neutrons to the original element it came from. EG: Carbon( 11 neurtons) can go to carbon(12 Neutrons(
During nuclear decay, radioisotopes of one element can change into one or more isotopes of a different element altogether.
An isotope is an atom that contains a different number of neutrons. In order for an element to change there has to be a different number of protons.
An atom of a different element.

Isotope.
Because each isotope of an element has a mass different from any other isotope of the same element, and the atomic mass of an element is an average, weighted by the proportion of each isotope, in the naturally occurring element.
It is called an isotope.
An isotope is an element with the same number of electrons and protons different number of neutrons.
The neutron; the proton determines the element of the atom, but different atoms of the same element can have different atomic masses, due to the different number of neutrons of the atoms. Atoms of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called Isotopes. Thus, neutron determines the isotope of an atom.
"element" is a very confusing word for what you are asking. But what I think you are asking is what part of an atom does not change with an isotope. I'll answer that question. An isotope of an atom is a variation fo the element in which the atom has a different number of neutrons. However, the number of protons can never change in a single element. So no matter how many atoms of a certain element are gathered, no matter how many different isotopes there are, they all have the exact same number of protons.
No, it becomes a different isotope. An element is defined solely by the number of protons.
