We can find Atomic Mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.

What does it mean when the neutrons of an atom are all different?
The number of neutrons present in atoms of an element may differ. Atoms of an element which have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. These differ in mass but have the same chemistry.All of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are the same.
Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.
What is an element that has the same atomic number but different mass numbers?
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.
What is the term for atoms of two atoms of the same element with different molecular mass?
They are called isotopes. They differ in molecular mass due to the different number of neutrons.
Can neutral atoms of the same element differ in neutrons?
They can vary in neutron count, which would also change the atomic mass.
What does it mean when the neutrons of an atom are all different?
The number of neutrons present in atoms of an element may differ. Atoms of an element which have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. These differ in mass but have the same chemistry.All of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are the same.
Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.
Elements that differ in mass number are?
Such atoms are isotopes and belong to the same element.
What are atoms of the same element have different mass numbers?
Isotopes.Isotopes.
What is an element that has the same atomic number but different mass numbers?
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.
Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers are known as?
Isotopes.
When atoms of the same element have different mass numbers they are known as?
isotopes
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 the term for atoms of two atoms of the same element with different molecular mass?
They are called isotopes. They differ in molecular mass due to the different number of neutrons.
How can you tell the mass of most of the atoms of a given element?
The mass numbers are given on the periodic table.
Atoms of the same elements that differ only in the number of neutrons are known as?
Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. An isotope is known by its mass number, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
Isotopes of the same element differ in their?
number of neutrons, and therefore their mass numbers.
