An atom or element that have different masses are known as isotopes.
isotopes.
Isotopes
If a sample of an element contains atoms of different mass numbers, the name of the element followed by a hyphen and the mass number is the name of an isotope of the element.
C6H12O6. Six carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms.
A combination of two atoms of different elements results in a molecule. A combination of two atoms of the same exact element results in two atoms of the same element stuck together, not a molecule. There is no name for this that I know of. --------- 1. Two oxygen atoms: a molecule of oxygen - O2. Many gases has diatomic molecules. Ozone has three oxygen atoms in molecule. 2. Allotropes can be formed from many atoms: allotropes of carbon, sulfur, phosphorus.
Those are different isotopes of the same element. Different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. There are a little over 100 known elements, but over 3000 different known isotopes.
'ISOTOPES'. The definitive statement is ' Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons'. NB Do NOT confuse with 'Allotropes' . Allotropes of the same element exhibit different physical characteristics. The elements Sulphur and Phosphorus are the two classic examples of allotropes.

ALLOTROPES are forms of an element where the atoms are arranged in different shapes and so they have different properties. The allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite and buckyballs. Phosphorus has several allotropes (including white phosphorus and red phosphorus). Sulphur also has several allotropes. An alternative answer to the question is different atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses are called ISOTOPES.
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.
Protons are protons, no matter what element they are in.
each element has one atom of the element's name
C6H12O6. Six carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms.
the name of the element is ,Lead. ;)

Boron
In that case, you would say that the atom has different isotopes.The difference in mass is due to a difference in the amount of neutrons.
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
