Do isotopes of carbon have the same number of neutrons and different numbers of protons?

No, it is just the other way around!
All isotopes of one particular element have the same number of protons (specific for that element) but are differing in neutron number.
Example:
Uranium has 92 protons (same as atomic number),
but
isotope U(235) has 143 neutrons and 92 protons (143+92=235)
and
isotope U(238) has 146 neutrons and 92 protons (146+92=238).

Isotopes have the same number of but different numbers of?
The number of protons (and electrons in a neutral atom) is identical. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
How are the isotopes of an element are alike and how are they different?
The isotopes of an element are alike in that they have the same number of protons, electrons, and the same chemical properties. The isotopes are different in that they have different numbers of neutrons and thus different atomic masses.
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.
What are atoms containing the same numbers of protons and different numbers of neutrons are?
These atoms are called isotopes.
The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?
The difference between isotopes of the same element have to do with the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of an element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass.
What does isotopes?
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
Isotopes have the same number of but different numbers of?
The number of protons (and electrons in a neutral atom) is identical. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Isotopes of uncharged elements have different numbers of which of these?
Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons Neutrons (:
What are characteristic of isotopes?
Same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
How are the isotopes of an element are alike and how are they different?
The isotopes of an element are alike in that they have the same number of protons, electrons, and the same chemical properties. The isotopes are different in that they have different numbers of neutrons and thus different atomic masses.
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 are the different numbers of neutrons called when two atoms have the same number of protons?
Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called "isotopes".
What are atoms containing the same numbers of protons and different numbers of neutrons are?
These atoms are called isotopes.
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 many protons are there in carbon?
There are 6 protons in carbon. The weights of the different isotopes are due to different numbers of neutrons.
Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of protons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
Do the atomic numbers of such isotopes differ?
No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.
