The atomic number is the same for the all isotopes of a chemical element.
chemical properties
Isotopes of an element have the same numbers of protons in the nucleus (and corresponding electrons). It's not so much "can have", as "do have". It's just a different number of neutrons that makes a different isotope.
no isotopes of a particular chemical element all have the same number of protons
All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.
The known weighted-averagemass of all the naturally occurring* isotopes for an element is the atomic mass of the element.____________________*This is not the same as "all the known isotopes", becausemost elements have known isotopes that are not naturally occurring.
All the isotopes of a chemical element have the same number of protons and electrons (in a neutral state).

chemical properties
Atoms of the same element with different atomic masses are known as isotopes. Isotopes differ only by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the isotopes. The number of protons is the same for all isotopes of an element (because if there were different numbers of protons, then the atoms would not be of the same element).

The isotopes of hydrogen are all hydrogen. They have the same number of protons, or atomic number, which is unique to each element.
