yes, protons affect which element an atom is.

Each isotope of different elements has generally a different number of neutrons.

Isotopes with the same neutron number are called isotones.

Two isotopes of the element rubidium differ in their number of protons?

This statement is incorrect. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in their number of neutrons. Rubidium, specifically, has two stable isotopes: Rb-85 and Rb-87, which both have 37 protons but different numbers of neutrons.


Are the Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and?

The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.


How are isotopes the same but different?

Isotopes are different forms of the same element which have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. A given element is identified by the number of protons in its nucleus; that's its atomic number. Two different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but each has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. Different isotopes of the same element are chemically the same.


What do different isotopes of a particular element contain the different number of?

Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.


Isotopes have the same element but different?

Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.


What are different types of the same element called?

If an atom of the same element has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, then they are isotopes.


Isotopes of a given element have what?

An isotope has same number of protons but a different number of neutrons as the original element in the atomic nucleus; it has the same atomic number as the element which isn't an isotope, but will have a different mass number. -atomic number


Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of protons?

An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).


Do both isotopes have the same mass number?

An Isotope of an element is an atom that has the same number of protons, (number of protons is the defining feature of an element) but different number of neutrons.Because The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, different isotopes have different mass numbers.


Which atoms that are same element and have the same number of protons but have different number of neutrons?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. An example is carbon-12 and carbon-14, which both have six protons but differ in the number of neutrons they possess.


What are atoms that have different masses but the number of protons?

Atoms that have different masses but the same number of protons are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, which determines the element's identity, but a different number of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass.


Isotopes can have the same what?

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.
