Isotopes have the same numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. One of the most common examples is carbon: C12 is the standard carbon atom, but C13 and C14, although still carbon atoms, have one or two extra neutrons.

What are atoms of the same element but have different sums of protons and neutrons?
The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.
Which particle has a mass that is approximately the same as the mass of a proton?
the neutral or no charge particle of an atom:it is located in the nucleus;has the same mass as the proton.
What is the charge on a electron called?
the charge of a proton is called positive charge neutron- negative charge electron- no charge
If a proton had a mass of 1 what is the mass of an electron and neutron relative to the mass of the proton?
If a proton would be 1, an electron would be 0.000544. An electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton. A neutron would be 1.001 as a proton is 99.86% the mass of a neutron
What is the electrically neutral particle in the nucleus called?
Neutron is neutral Proton has a positive charge Electron has a negative charge
how to get the number of neutron?
Mass no-the no of proton=no of neutron

The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of what-?
Only the neutron number is different, same proton and electron number.
On the periodic table the number of proton plus neutron is called the?
The name for it is Mass Number of an Isotope.
Are isotapes atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons?
atoms had gained or lost one or more electron are called ions. so no. the number of neutron and proton don't change. unless it was isotope you are talking about. they have the same atomic number but different atomic mass, which means different number of neutron.
What type of particle has an atomic number of 1 and a mass number of 1?
Of the common sub-atomic particles, both the proton and the neutron have mass numbers of 1.
What kind of decay is it when a nuclear reaction in which a neutron is transformed into a proton and in electron?
When a neutron -> proton, it is called a Beta - (minus) decay.
Have scientists ever found elements with same number of protons?
Well, when two elements have the same number of protons, they are atoms of the same element. Each element has its unique proton number. If an atom has 1 atom, it is called Hydrogen. If it has 2, it is called Helium. If it has 20, it is called Calcium. However, the number of neutrons may differ. For example, in the case of Hydrogen, it may have no neutron, 1 neutron or 2 neutrons, and still be called Hydrogen. However, they are called 'isotopes', meaning members of the same element(same number of proton), but having different neutron numbers.
The decay of a neutron into a proton also ejects a small particle called a?
the decay of neutron into proton givesz small praticle called negative beta particle
Which particle will have the same mass proton and electron proton and neutron electron and neutron or all three particles?
The masses of all three particles are different The masses of a proton and the mass of a neutron are very close, however. The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron.
The number of quarks in a proton or neutron is?
3 in each
What is a proton and neutron?
A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle found in the nuclei of atoms. The number of protons an element has in its atomic nuclei is its atomic number, and defines the element. A neutron is a subatomic particle that has no charge and is also found in the nucleus of an atom. The number of neutrons in the nuclei of an element can vary. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, giving them different mass numbers, are called isotopes.
