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).

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 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.


What are atoms containing the same numbers of protons and different numbers of neutrons are?

Atoms containing the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Isotopes have the same atomic number (number of protons) but differ in atomic mass due to the varying number of neutrons.

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.

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


What atom has the same element same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons?

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon with 6 protons but 6 and 8 neutrons, respectively.


Can isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?

Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.


Can isotopes exist because atoms can have different numbers of protons?

Isotopes can exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This results in isotopes having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, causing differences in stability and reactivity.
