Neutral atoms do. Neutral atoms need the same number of positively charged protons in the nucleus to balance that same number of negatively charged electrons in their orbitals around that atom's nucleus.

No. This question eludes to some very limited understanding of atoms and its structure. I suggest reading up on what elements are and their relation to protons.

What does it mean if two atoms are isotopes?

If two atoms are isotopes, it means they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Thus, they have the same atomic numbers, but different atomic masses.


What is the atomic numbers of a sodium atom that has 11 protons and 12 neutrons?

Sodium's atomic number is always 11 and is always the same as its protons.


What is the deference between atomic number and protons?

they describe the same thing. Proton numbers are unique to each element, as are atomic numbers


Do the atomic numbers of such isotopes differ?

No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.


Do isotopes have the same atomic number and different mass numbers?

Yes. Isotopes have the same atomic number because all of their atoms have the same number of protons. They have different mass numbers because their atoms have different numbers of neutrons, and mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons.


The niumber of protons in an atom is the?

The atomic number of a chemical element is equal to the numbers of protons in the atomic nucleus; as an example: aluminium, with the atomic number 13 has also 13 protons. All the isotopes of an element has the same number of protons.


Do some atoms have more or fewer protons than will other atoms of the same element?

No. The atomic number of an element is determined by its number of protons. If two atoms have different numbers of protons, they have different atomic numbers and are different elements.


What are the numbers of protons and electrons in an atom?

The number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom are the same and given by the element's atomic number.
