This question is misguided. Atoms do not have isotopes. In a sample of an element there are many atoms. They will all have the same number of protons in their nuclei, that's what makes them the same element. Individual atoms may have different numbers of neutrons, if this happens they are called isotopes. For instance in silver, all the atoms have 47 protons, but some of them have 60 neutrons and some have 62. We say that silver has two stable isotopes. Perhaps your question should be 'Do all atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons?'

Do all atoms of the same element contain the same number of netrons?

No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.

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


What is the different of isotopes and a same element?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that are only different by the number of neutrons they have


What are atoms of an element that have the same number of protons as other atoms of that element but a different number of neutrons called?

They are called isotopes,


Atoms of the same atomic are called what?

isotopes Atoms of the same element are called Isotopes. they have the same number of atoms (i.e. same atomic number) but different number of neutrons


What are atoms of the same element but with different masses?

Atoms of the same element that have different masses are called isotopes of the element. The presence of different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus is responsible for the existence of isotopes of an element.


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 does it mean isotopes?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element but with a different number of neutrons.


Two atoms are isotopes of the same element which should be the same for these two atoms?

The number of protons in the nucleus is the same for both isotopes since they are of the same element. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons (which determines the element) but a different number of neutrons, leading to a difference in atomic mass.


What do you call atoms of the same element such as Chlorine which have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?

Isotopes.


The various atomic weights of the same element are called?

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).
