Different elements with same number of neutrons are known as isotones.
You can have the atoms with same number of protons and different number of neutrons. Such atoms are called as isotopes.

"isotopes"
The term silver-96 indicates a mass number of 96 for that isotope of silver. The mass number of an isotope is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nuclei of its atoms. On the periodic table, the atomic number for silver is 47. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms. The difference between the mass number and atomic number is the number of neutrons in the nuclei of the atoms of that isotope. In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. Therefore, silver-96 has 47 protons and 47 electrons in its atoms. The number of neutrons = 96 - 47 = 49.
The nuclei of heavier atoms simply have more neutrons and protons than do lighter atoms.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, but the same number of protons.
A diamond is composed of carbon atoms. The atomic number of carbon is 6, so all carbon atoms have 6 protons in their nuclei. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope of carbon. Carbon-11 atoms have 5 neutrons, carbon-12 atoms have 6 neutrons, carbon-13 atoms have 7 neutrons, and carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons. Refer to the related links below to see the Wikipedia articles on carbon and diamond.
This question is misguided. Atoms do not have isotopes. In a sample of an element there are many atoms. They will all have the same number of protons in their nuclei, that's what makes them the same element. Individual atoms may have different numbers of neutrons, if this happens they are called isotopes. For instance in silver, all the atoms have 47 protons, but some of them have 60 neutrons and some have 62. We say that silver has two stable isotopes. Perhaps your question should be 'Do all atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons?'
isotopes
Neutrons in their nuclei.
Carbon is atomic number 6, so its atoms have 6 protons in their nuclei. Carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons in addition to the 6 protons. Nitrogen is atomic number 7, so its atoms have 7 protons in their nuclei. Nitrogen-14 atoms have 7 neutrons in addition to the 7 protons.
Neutrons
Because of isotopes
IsotopesThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element. The number of neutrons can vary. If two atoms of the same element have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei, they are isotopes of that element.

No - different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. All atoms of an element will have the same number of protons.
A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle found in the nuclei of atoms. The number of protons an element has in its atomic nuclei is its atomic number, and defines the element. A neutron is a subatomic particle that has no charge and is also found in the nucleus of an atom. The number of neutrons in the nuclei of an element can vary. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, giving them different mass numbers, are called isotopes.

All oxygen atoms contain 8 protons in their nuclei. All neutral oxygen atoms have 8 electrons. There are three isotopes of oxygen, containing 8,9, or 10 neutrons in their nuclei.
