Elements with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called isotopes. For example Carbon has many different isotopes, but the isotope that is most abundant in nature is Carbon - 12.

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.
What are the requirements for two atoms to be isotopes of each other?
The same elements may be isotopes , because it contains a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. Hydrogen exhibits three different isotopes. viz:- #1 ; protium ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 1 electron #2 ; deuterium ; 1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron #3 tritium ; 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron NB Notice the different number of neutrons.
What causes atoms of the same elements to have different atomic masses?
Elements have a certain number of protons(+), neutrons(0) and electrons(-). The atomic number shows the number of protons and electrons in the element (has to have the same number of each to stay stable). The atomic mass shows the number of neutrons. For example, Hydrogen has an atomic mass of ~1.01 (and an atomic number of 1). That means that it has 1 electron and 1 proton but no neutron (1 proton+0 neutrons=1). Helium has an atomic mass of ~4.00 (and an atomic number of 2). That means that it has 2 electrons, 2 protons and 2 neutrons (2 protons+2 neutrons=4). Hope you can understand. :S
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons?
A definitive answer is Isotopes of an element have a different number of neutrons. They have the same number of protons and electrons. Here's two examples of isotopes. #1 Hydrogen. protium ; 1 p roton , 1 electrons, 0 neutrons ( The commonest isotope) deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 elelctrons, 1 neutrons (knopwn as 'heavy hydrogen'( tritium ; 1 protno, 1 electrons , 2 neutrons ) Radio- active and the rarest isotope_. #2 Chlorine Chlorine-35 ; 17 protons, 17 electrons, 18 neutrons. Chlorine-37 ' 17 protonds, 17 electrons , 20 neutrons. Because both isotopes of Chlorine are very common and in the ratios of 35:37 :: 3:1 it is averafes out to five an atomic mass od 35,5 . There are many more isotopes in elements in the periodic table. NB do NOT confuse with neither Allotropes nor Ions. both are different species from isotopes.
How are isotopes of the same element different from each other?
They differ in their number of neutrons.Atoms of all isotopes of carbon contain 6 protons and 6 electrons.Carbon-12 is the most common isotope.Isotopes of an element differ because each isotope has a different neutrons, but the same amount of protons.Example: H-1H-2H-1 has 1 neutron, 1 proton, and 1 electronH-2 ,however, has 2 neutrons, 1 proton, and 1 electron.
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 could be different about 2 or more atoms of the same atom?
Did you mean, "What could be different about 2 or more atoms of the same element?" If you did, the answer is that they can have a different number of neutrons.
Which elements have different isotopes?
Many elements have different isotopes: 1) Carbon - Carbon 12, Carbon 14 2) Hydrogen - Protium, Deuterium, Tritium 3) Chlorine - Chlorine 35, Chlorine 37 etc

What are atoms of the same element with different numbers neutrons called?
'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.
How is isotope and mass number related?
2 isotopes of the same element will have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The sum of protons and neutrons is the mass number, so different isotopes will have different mass numbers.
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons?
YES. The very definition of isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of proton (same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, therefore different mass numbers.
What is unique about an isotope?
Isotopes of an element differ from each other by having different numbers of neutrons. For example: 1H (hydrogen), 2H (deuterium), 3H (tritium) are isotopes. They have the same number of protons (1) but different numbers of neutrons (0, 1, and 2 respectively).
Is 1-hexyne an isotope?
No, 1-hexyne is not an isotope. Isotopes are same elements that have the same number of protons (and therefore the same chemical properties) but different numbers of neutrons. They have slightly different atomic masses due to the varying number of neutrons in their nuclei. 1-hexyne, on the other hand, is a specific chemical compound. It is an alkyne with the molecular formula C6H10 and a carbon-carbon triple bond at the first position in a hexane chain. Isotopes are not specific chemical compounds, but they are variations of elements.
Which elements has 2 neutrons?
For the most part Helium has two neutrons, the exception is with isotopes.
