Isotopes have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons (they are the same element however).
Isotones have different numbers of protons, but the same number of neutrons, and are thus different elements.

∙ 11y agoIsotopes are variant neutron count forms of the same atom, such as carbon 12 and carbon 14, ( the former have 12 neutrons and the latter 14 neutrons ) while ions are charged atoms that have donated an electron(s) to another atom's electron valance shell, or have accepted an electron(s) into their valance shell.

Atoms of an element can have different numbers of protons?
No, they can't. Atoms (be careful of the difference between atoms and ions) can only have different numbers of neutrons, and those are called isotopes.
What are the difference between isotopes ions and molecules?
the main difference between an ions and molecules is that an ion contain the positive "cation" as well as negatively "anions" charge.The main reason is that the ions are the compounds composed of metals and non metals,so the intermix of the outer shell of particular atom can create the different charges.Where as in molecules,they are nuetral.
How many isotopes are in tin?
10 isotopes 10 isotopes
How do isotopes of nitrogen differ from nitrogen ions?
Nitrogen isotopes do not have a charge.Ions have a charge.
Are atoms of the same element but with different masses are called ions?
Not ions, but isotopes.

What is the major difference between isotopes?
Different numbers of neutrons, e.g. deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen.
Can radioactive isotopes be ions?
Probably not, no.

What is the relationship between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in water?
the difference is that ,the hydrogen ion
The main difference between isotopes of the sameelement has to do with the number?
mass number
What do two neutral isotopes of the element have in common?
The same numbers of protons and of electrons; the difference between isotopes is in the number of neutrons.
