Let's say an atom is missing a neutron or has an extra neutron.
That type of atom is called an isotope.
An atom is still the same element if it is missing an electron.
The same goes for isotopes.
They are still the same element.
They are just a little different from every other atom of the same element.

isotopes are the same as ions?
Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of neutrons.Ions are atoms with an electrical charge.
What isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of?
Isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of neutrons.
What are atoms of an element that have the same number of protons as other atoms of that element but a different number of neutrons called?
They are called isotopes,
Can isotopes have positive and negative charges?
Isotopes are just the different possible nuclear weights of each element. Some are stable; some are unstable and radioactive. Since all atoms are isotopes and all isotopes are atoms, Isotopes can - and do - form ions, consequently they can have positive and negative charges.
What does it mean isotopes?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element but with a different number of neutrons.
Is mixtures or isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons?
Atoms have isotopes: it is true, the isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.
What are Atoms that vary in the number of neutrons found in their nuclei called?
Different elements with same number of neutrons are known as isotones.

What isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of?
Isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of neutrons.
What are atoms of an element that have the same number of protons as other atoms of that element but a different number of neutrons called?
They are called isotopes,
Are isotopes a type of subatomic particle?
Isotopes are atoms, not subatomic particles.
What are atoms containing the same numbers of protons and different numbers of neutrons are?
These atoms are called isotopes.
Where do the neutrons come from to have an element be considered an isotope?
# Elements are not isotopes, atoms are isotopes of an element. # There are no atoms that are not isotopes, so it's not a matter of being "considered" an isotope or not. # It doesn't matter where the neutrons come from, whatever that means. All atoms are isotopes of some element or other.

What does it mean isotopes?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element but with a different number of neutrons.
Do neon atoms have common isotopes?
Yes Neon has isotopes from 16-34.
Do atoms form isotopes when they share electron pairs?
No. When atoms share electron pairs they form covalent bonds. Isotopes are atoms having different numbers of neutrons.
