They are called isotopes and the difference between different isotopes of one type of element is the amount of neutrons each have.

∙ 13y agoI think you may be referring to isotopes. These are atoms of an element with a differing number of neutrons in the nucleus, e.g 12 C and 14 C.

What do you call the atom of an element of sodium?
ion
What do you call an atom after we add a neutron?
It's still an atom. It would be a different isotope of the same element.
What do you call an atom of the same element that has a different numder of neutrons?
Isotopes of elements have different atomic mass'.
What do you call the number that tells an element's location on the periodic table of elements?
Atomic number and it also tells the number of protons and electrons in an atom it is on top of the element symbol.
Where does a element takes its identity from?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom will determine its chemical identity. Only that. The number of neutrons can vary a bit, depending on the element, and we call these variations isotopes of that element. Electron count will match proton count only in a neutral atom. Rememeber that atoms loan out and borrow electrons, which is what chemistry is all about.

What Elements contain only one type of atom?
By definition, an Element contains only one kind of atom - atoms of that element. If it has more than one kind, it is a compound, not an element.
What do you call matter made up of only one type of atom?
An element.
What you call an atom contains one proton inside the nucleus?
The element Hydrogen
Why an element call radioactive?
it is unstable and decays to another element
