Yes. Atoms with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that atom, but a variation in the number of neutrons does not change what the atom is.

If the number of neutrons in an atom is changed does the atom become a new element Why or why not?

Changing the number of neutrons in an atom does not change the element it belongs to because the element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Changing the number of neutrons would result in an isotope of the same element, not a new element.


What is the smallest particle of an element that still has the chemical characteristics of that element called?
