Yes. For example, ytterbium-176 and lutetium-177 have the same number of neutrons: 106.

Why is not possible to determine the type of atom by simply knowing how many neutrons it has?
because the neutrons have no charge
How Is it possible for the atoms of different elements to have the same mass numbers?
It is possible only because of different number of neutrons.
How is it possible for two atoms of the same element to have different number of massess?
Because the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Atoms that have different number of protons and neutrons are called?
Atoms which have different number of protons and neutrons but have the same molecular weight are called Isobars.
What are Atoms that vary in the number of neutrons found in their nuclei called?
Different elements with same number of neutrons are known as isotones.
Do different atoms of the same element have you identical number of neutrons?
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Do atoms have different number of neutrons?
yes
Are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but have different number of neutrons?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element, having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
What is different about the atom of an isotope?
The atoms of an isotope of one particular element are different from other isotopes of the same element because their atoms have a different number of neutrons.
What will always be different in the isotopes atoms?
The number of Neutrons in an isotope will always be different.
What atomic particle that determines a specific isotope?
The atomic particle that determines a specific isotope is the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Isotopes are different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The number of neutrons affects the mass of the atom and gives rise to different isotopes with varying atomic weights.
Are all atoms of a given element identical to one another and different from atoms of other elements?
No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.
