Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
neutrons
It is - Transmutation, and Protons -
When the number of neutrons changes, the result is the formation of an ISOTOPE of that same element.

Isotopes of the element is formed when the number of neutron changes.
The charge of a proton is +1. Neutrons carry no charge. The charge of an electron is -1.
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom and have approximately the same mass, while electrons orbit the nucleus and have a much smaller mass. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. Changes in the number of protons determine the element, changes in the number of neutrons result in isotopes, and changes in the number of electrons create ions.
neutrons
Nothing happens to the number of neutrons nor protons. it's just the electron number that changes. If an atom gains electrons, it increases and the ion is negative and vice versa. the number of neutrons or protons DOES NOT CHANGE.
No, the element remains the same even when the atomic mass changes. Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, but changing the number of neutrons does not change the identity of the element.
only the number of neutrons
