Best Answer

An atom of an element having the same number of protons (as well as electrons) but a different number of neutrons is known as an isotope. Isotopes are often used in the nuclear power industry. An example of an industry is "heavy water" or Deuterium Oxide. It is water but with and isotope of hydrogen that has 2 extra neutrons. The isotope is called Deuterium, and heavy water is also sometimes known as D2O.

What is the number of protons and neutrons called?

The number protons in an atom is called the atomic number (it is this number that tells us which element the atom is).
