If they have the same atomic number but different mass, then they have a different number of neutrons, and they are called ISOTOPES.

Isotopes.
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).
Every atom of the same element is also categorized by its number of neutrons. An atom with a certain number of neutrons is an "isotope." Two atoms of the same element (same quantity of protons) can be different isotopes (different quantity of neutrons). Some isotopes are unstable, so most stable isotopes of an element are withing a range of a few numbers. For example, stable isotopes of carbon are Carbon-12 and Carbon-13.
The big numbers are atomic numbers. They are equal to number of protons. Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
The number of protons is equivalent to the atomic number which can be got from the periodic table. The number of neutrons is the atomic weight minus the number of protons. Again, this information is available from the periodic table.
Yes, and they are called isotopes.
they are called isotopes.
Atoms with the same atomic number are all atoms of the same element. However, if the atoms have different molecular weights, they are isotopes of the same element.

1. First cause: the atomic weight is the sum of the weights of protons, neutrons ans electrons.; they don't have masses as integers. 2. Second cause: also occurs the so-called mass defect. Note: no atomic masses for elements but atomic weights is correct.
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).
Atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons), but different mass numbers (i.e. different mass) are called isotopes. The difference in mass is due to different numbers of neutrons. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope
when you have two different forms of an atom with different masses, it's called an isotope of the atom.
The elements with atomic numbers between 57 and 71 are called lanthanoids (or lanthanides).
Every atom of the same element is also categorized by its number of neutrons. An atom with a certain number of neutrons is an "isotope." Two atoms of the same element (same quantity of protons) can be different isotopes (different quantity of neutrons). Some isotopes are unstable, so most stable isotopes of an element are withing a range of a few numbers. For example, stable isotopes of carbon are Carbon-12 and Carbon-13.
They are called as isotopes in which mass number differ by emmision of radiation
