An atom of one of the few elements that have only one radioactively stable isotope naturally occurring. Even this is not quite literally true, because all atoms have radioactively unstable isotopes that have different numbers of neutrons.
They are called isotopes,
An isotope
The atoms of an isotope of one particular element are different from other isotopes of the same element because their atoms have a different number of neutrons.
The number of electrons and neutrons may differ for atoms of the same element. However, what distinguishes atoms of one element from those of a different element is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. All of the atoms of an element have the same number of protons, which is the single most important determiner of the properties of an element.
number of protons in the atoms tells us to what chemical element atoms belongs. in other words :different number of protons means different element. also protons together with neutrons make most of the atoms weight.
They are called isotopes,
Atoms of all elements can have neutrons in them. Only the element hydrogen has an isotope whose atoms do not contain neutrons, but all other isotopes of hydrogen have neutrons in them. In the heavier elements the number of neutrons always exceeds the number of protons in the atom.
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.

an isotope
This atom is called isotope.
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.
The atoms of an isotope of one particular element are different from other isotopes of the same element because their atoms have a different number of neutrons.

No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.
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.
