Answer: (A series of) isobars.
An example of a series of isobars would be 40S, 40Cl, 40Ar, 40K, and 40Ca (atom numbers from 16 to 20).
The nuclei of these elements all contain 40 nucleons, however they contain varying numbers of protons and neutrons. They are all (particular isotopes of) different elements.
Atomic number is tied to the number of protons an element has. Each element has a different number.
The mass number is the sum of the number of protons AND neutrons of a particular isotope of an element.
(The total mass is the avarage mass of all naturally occurring isotopes, thus including protons, neutrons, and electrons of those atoms)
Example:
Elements with atom number 6 (Carbon) and atom number 7 (Nitrogen) both have isotopes with mass number 14.
C-14 (6 protons with 8 neutrons) weights 14.00324 a.m.u. and
N-14 (7 protons with 7 neutrons) weights 14.00307 a.m.u.
They are called isotopes of the same element
They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.
the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom of an element and the atomic number is the number of protons of an atom of an element.
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.

No. Each type of atom (element) has its own unique number of protons, which is called the atomic number. Atoms of the same element will always have the same atomic number (number of protons). Atoms of different elements will never have the same atomic number (number of protons).
Atoms with the same atomic number are all atoms of the same element. However, if the atoms have different molecular weights, they are isotopes of the same element.
Isotopes. eg U235 and U238. Both Uranium, atomic number 92, bur different isotopes.
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.
isotopes Atoms of the same element are called Isotopes. they have the same number of atoms (i.e. same atomic number) but different number of neutrons

Because the atomic number is the number of protons in an element. If you change the atomic number you will have a completely different element. The mass number changes because the number of neutrons is different.
The number is called the element's atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom of that element.
NO. An element always has its own unique atomic number, because the atoms of that element all have identical amounts of protons. Counting the number of protons in a nucleus of an atom reveals the identity of the atom. So, all atoms of the same element have the same atomic number.However atoms of one element CAN have a different masscaused by different number of neutrons in nucleus: these are called isotopes of that element.No. The only thing that can change within an given element, is the atomic mass usually referred to as isotopes, which means there is a different abundance of each isotope.For example chlorine has two isotopes one which is 75.78% and a atomic mass of 34.969 and the second is 24.22% and a atomic mass of 36.966.Now calculate the average atomic mass and you have a answer of 35.45.
