- Same number of protons (=atomic number in the P.S.)
- Different number of neutrons
- Different in MASS NUMBER (=the sum of the number of protons AND neutrons, and also roughly equal to the Atomic Mass)
fr eg isotopes of hydrogen are: H1 H2 H3
their mass numbers are different but their charge number or atomic number (no.of protons) is the same. that is why isotopes have different physical but same chemical properties.

How are the isotopes of an element are alike and how are they different?
The isotopes of an element are alike in that they have the same number of protons, electrons, and the same chemical properties. The isotopes are different in that they have different numbers of neutrons and thus different atomic masses.
Isotopes of any element have a different number of?
isotopes have varying amounts of electrons ^ The above is wrong. Isotopes of an element vary in the amounts of neutrons within the nucleus only.
Do all isotopes of an elements have different numbers of electrons?
No. The essence of an isotope is that all isotopes have the same number of protons in the nucleus, and thus the same number of electrons. What varies is the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
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 of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
How do you know the difference between isotopes and an element?
Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of electrons.
What structure feature is different in isotopes of a particular element?
Electrons
How are the isotopes of an element are alike and how are they different?
The isotopes of an element are alike in that they have the same number of protons, electrons, and the same chemical properties. The isotopes are different in that they have different numbers of neutrons and thus different atomic masses.
Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of electrons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons an electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
How are isotopes different from state atoms?
The atoms of a chemical element can exist in different types. These are called isotopes. They have the same number of protons (and electrons), but different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of the same element have different masses.
Isotopes have the same element but different?
Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.
How are isotopes tha same and how are they different?
All the isotopes of a chemical element have the same number of protons and electrons but the number of neutrons is different.
Isotopes of any element have a different number of?
isotopes have varying amounts of electrons ^ The above is wrong. Isotopes of an element vary in the amounts of neutrons within the nucleus only.
All the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
No they don't have. Isotopes of an element differ in mass from from each other and this is due to the different no. of electrons in their nucleus.
How are all isotopes of a single element different?
Isotopes have the same amount of protons but a different amount of neutrons.
What do two different neutral isotopes o the same element have in common?
Neutral isotopes are atoms of the same element which have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
What is the same about isotopes of the same elements?
The isotopes of the same element have an identical number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
