Isotopes.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. This leads to variations in atomic mass for isotopes of the same element.
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
They have different numbers of neutrons.

Atoms of different elements are different because they have different numbers of protons in their nuclei. Protons carry a positive charge and determine the element's identity.
To determine which atoms in a table are of the same element, you would look for atoms that have the same atomic number, as this identifies the element. Atoms of the same element will also have the same number of protons in their nucleus. If isotopes of an element are present, they will have the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to varying numbers of neutrons.
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons determines the element.
The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Mixtures, on the other hand, are combinations of different substances that are physically mixed together, but not chemically bonded.
