Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?

Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.

What are three facts about elements?
Elements are the building blocks of matter. All atoms of the same element have the same atomic number. The mass number of atoms of the same element can vary.
How are molecules different from atoms?
Atoms consist of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge), and neutrons (neutral charge), while molecules consist of atoms.
Do neutral atoms have a positive or negative charge?
No..... They are called neutral for a reason. But neutral atoms can have electrons added and removed making the atom positive or negative. And neutral atoms are still affected by charged atoms due to reason in depth but to sum up the long explanation of the affect neutral atoms are attracted to charged atoms. Just a side note.... how many of you love Leo Howard? Am I right?
An element that has the same chemical properties as other atoms of that elementbut that has a different number of neutrons is?
isotope
Which is the most abundant element in terms of number of atoms in the human body?
The most abundant element in any organic structure, including the human is hydrogen.
Is it true that all the atoms of a given element are different from each other?
No. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and, when neutral, the same number of electrons. They can, however, differ in the number of neutrons.
Is it true that the number of protons in an element is the same for all neutral atoms of that element?
nO
Atoms of one element differ from atoms of another?
By number of protons/electrons.
Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons?
isotopes
What subatomic particles can differ between neutral atoms of the same element?
The subatomic particle that makes atoms of different elements different from each other is the proton. This is given as the atomic number of the element on the periodic table.
Is it true that the number of electrons in an element is the same for all neutral atom of that element?
Yes, this is true for electrons (and protons) of all neutral atoms of an element.
What are element that differ in the number of neutrons known as?
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain are known as isotopes.
What are atoms of the same element but differ in number of neutrons?
They are called isotopes.
What atoms of the same element differ in the number of neutrons?
They are called isotopes.
What is a isotope apex?
Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons
How do the atoms of one isotope differ from those of other isotopes of the same element?
Primarily, isotopes differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Secondarily, because some combinations of protons and neutrons produce an unstable nucleus, they may differ by being radioactive.
What is atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons but have the same number of protons?
Isotopes.
