What are elements with identical number for protons and different number of neutrons called?

The answer you are looking for is "isotopes"
HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element.
Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.

Isotopes have the same number of but different numbers of?
The number of protons (and electrons in a neutral atom) is identical. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Could two isotopes of an element have different number of protons?
yes, protons affect which element an atom is. Each isotope of different elements has generally a different number of neutrons. Isotopes with the same neutron number are called isotones.
Can two different element have the same number of proton?
Two different will always have different numbers of protons as the number of protons defines which element an atom is. However, two isotopes of different elements can have the same number of neutrons. For example the isotope carbon-13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons while nitrogen-14 has 7 protons and 7 neutrons.
What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
What is the element of atoms?
I am not sure I understand this question. In simplest terms, it can be said that almost all atoms consist of three smaller particles, protons, neutrons and electrons. Only one the lightest form of the hydrogen atom consists of a single proton and a single electron. Protons and neutrons "cling" closely together to form the nucleus at the centre of the atom. The electrons orbit the nucleus. The protons, neutrons and electrons of all elements are identical and interchangeable.
What is the same about isotopes of the same elements?
The isotopes of the same element have an identical number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
Do isotopes have identical numbers of protons and electron?
Yes, but they have varying amounts of neutrons.
Isotopes have the same number of but different numbers of?
The number of protons (and electrons in a neutral atom) is identical. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Is it true that the number of protons is different for the two isotopes?
Not; the number of protons in isotopes is identical; only the number of neutrons is different.
How are elements determind?
Elelments are determined by the amount of protons they have. While different elements can have the same number of neutrons and protons, no two different elements can have the same amount of protons.
Can 2 different elements have the same neutrons and protons?
Each chemical element has a different number of protons; the number of neutrons can be similar.
What are the names of the different protons and neutrons in uranium?
The individual protons and neutrons are basically indistinguishable; they don't have different names.
Do isotopes have a nucleus?
Yes. Isotopes are simply normal elements with a different number of constituent neutrons in their nucleus. All isotopes have a nucleus with an identical number of protons to its element.
Protons and neutrons together are known as?
no there are different elements, and you can check a periodic table for more information.
Could two isotopes of an element have different number of protons?
yes, protons affect which element an atom is. Each isotope of different elements has generally a different number of neutrons. Isotopes with the same neutron number are called isotones.
Atoms of different elements always contain different number of what?

Are all atoms of a given element identical to one another and different from atoms of other elements?
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.
