Different forms of the same atom?
Isotope
What make an atom an isotope?
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
Why can an atom have the same number of neutrons and still be an isotope?
an isotope is defined by an atom with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons
The isotope is a form of an atom with a different number of?
Neutrons
How is a isotope of an atom different than a non isotope?
An isotope is where an atom has a different number of neutrons than what it should be.e.g.Gold has 79 protons and 118 neutrons = 197 nucleons.But some gold atoms are strange they only have 117 neutrons.They are isotopes.
What is the same and what is the different for an isotope compared to an atom?
An isotope will have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons than a given atom.

What is it called when the atom of an element has a different number of protons?
an isotope.
If the number of neutrons in an atom is changed does the atom become a new element Why or why not?
No, it becomes a different isotope. An element is defined solely by the number of protons.
