Isotopes of the same element have a different number of NEUTRONS.

If they had a different number of protons they would be a different element.

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).


Isotopes are forms of the same element that differ in what?

Yes, isotopes of an element are the same element but with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus and thus different atomic masses.


Do isotopes differ by number of electrons?

Isotopes differ by the number of protons.


The various atomic weights of the same element are called?

Atoms of the same element with different atomic masses are known as isotopes. Isotopes differ only by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the isotopes. The number of protons is the same for all isotopes of an element (because if there were different numbers of protons, then the atoms would not be of the same element).


In what ways are isotopes alike?

Isotopes of a given element all have the same number of protons. They differ in their number of neutrons.


Isotopes of an element differ in their?

Isotopes must have the same atomic number, which is the number of protons. The atomic mass, which is the total number of protons and neutrons, varies for the different isotopes. so it should have different mass numbers..


How r isotopes of the same element alike?

They have the same number of protons this is what makes them the same element but they differ in atomic mass and neutrons.


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.
