That would be the nucleus.
Nucleus
Isotopes can exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This results in isotopes having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, causing differences in stability and reactivity.
Electrons have dual properties.
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons.
Atoms are electrically neutral. The number electrons and number of protons in neutral atoms are same. The number of neutrons in some atoms are same as the number of protons. Example: Calcium atom contains 20 protons and 20 neutrons. But some atoms contain same number of protons but different number of neutrons. For example carbon atoms exist in three forms - all contain 6 protons but some contain 6 neutrons, some 7 neutrons and others with 8 neutrons. These type of atoms are known as isotopes Definition of isotope: Atoms with same number of protons but different number of neutrons It shows that the different number of neutrons determines the existence of isotopes.

Electrons, Protons and Neutrons are Particles of atoms. They're 3 different things 2 of them (proton and neutron) exist inside the nucleus and electron revolves around it.
Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
The smallest particle of an element that can exist is an atom. Atoms are made up of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.
Yes, it is true. Isotopes have the same number of protons an electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
That is called the nucleus. It is positively charged and it makes up most of the atom's mass.
- protons are positive and neutrons are neutral- a small difference of mass exist
Protons and neutrons are composed of quarks, which are elementary particles that are held together by the strong nuclear force. Electrons are elementary particles that exist outside the nucleus of an atom and have a negative electric charge. Together, protons, neutrons, and electrons make up the structure of atoms.
