No. A neutron is neutral, while a proton has a positive charge. Incidentally, an electron has a negative charge.

Two atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. What can you conclude about these two atoms They have the same charge. They have the same mass. They are the same isotope.?
They have the same charge, but they have different mass. They are isotopes of the same element.
What are the requirements for two atoms to be isotopes of each other?
The same elements may be isotopes , because it contains a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. Hydrogen exhibits three different isotopes. viz:- #1 ; protium ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 1 electron #2 ; deuterium ; 1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron #3 tritium ; 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron NB Notice the different number of neutrons.
Are the atoms the same or different in hydrogen?
All hydrogen atoms are the same but they are different from the atoms of other elements.
All atoms of an element have the same number of neutrons?
Wrong! For example we take on hydrogen atom which has 1 proton in his nucleus and one electron 'gravitating'(gravitating is not an appropriate word because of the quantum origin of all elementary particles, as they can be expressed both either parcitle if they are observed, or a wave) In nature there is a "heavy" atom of hydrogen which is called deuterium. It has 1 proton and 1 neutron in its nucleus. There are 3 types of hydrogen atoms known. The pattern is the same for almost all elements.
Is mixtures or isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons?
Atoms have isotopes: it is true, the isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.
Is the neutron number always the same for atoms for atoms of the same element?
No, that is why we have isotops. Example: hydrogen can have 0,1,2 neutrons
What electrical charge does atoms have?
it is neutral as the protons and the neutrons are the same amount.
Can atoms contain massive central regions that have a positive charge?
Yes, this is the nucleus. It is composed of a number of protons and neutrons (except Hydrogen, which has 1 proton and zero neutrons). Both protons and neutrons have about the same mass (which is much more massive relative to the electron). A proton has a positive electric charge, and a neutron does not have an electric charge.
Two atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. What can you conclude about these two atoms They have the same charge. They have the same mass. They are the same isotope.?
They have the same charge, but they have different mass. They are isotopes of the same element.
An isotope differs from regular atoms of an element by having a different number of?
Neutrons. As an example, hydrogen has three isotopes, Hydrogen, Duterium and Tritium. Hydrogen atoms consist of one proton and one electron. Duterium atoms consist of one proton, one electron and one neutron. Tritium atoms consist of one proton, one electron and two neutrons.
Do all atoms have the same nucleus?
No. Depending on the element and isotope atoms can have different numbers of protons and neutrons, ranging from 1 proton and no neutrons in hydrogen-1 to 118 protons and 176 neutrons in ununoctium-294.
What s a example of an isotope?
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons (they belong to the same element), but differing numbers of neutrons. Thus, deuterium and tritium are are uncommon isotopes of hydrogen, as these have 1 and 2 neutrons, respectively, whereas most hydrogen has no neutrons.
Are all particles alike in hydrogen?
No. Not all hydrogen atoms (particles) are the same. Most do not contain any neutrons, but there are some that do contain 1 or even 2 neutrons. So, they are different.
Why are protons and neutrons used in the subatomic particle?
Protons and neutrons provide the mass of an atom. Each different kind of element has a unique number of protons. For example: all hydrogen atoms have one proton. However, not all hydrogen atoms have the same mass. Some hydrogen atoms have no neutrons, one neutron, or two neutrons. Atoms of the same element (one proton) but different numbers of neutrons (different masses) are called isotopes of that element. All elements have isotopes. Some isotopes of elements are radioactive and are useful in medicine and energy applications (nuclear, for instance).
Is the Mass of hydrogen atom is about the same as a proton?
Yes, in general. All hydrogen atoms contain one proton, most with no neutrons and all neutral atoms with one electron - and the electron has a much smaller mass. Some hydrogen atoms contain one (or, rarely, two) neutrons and so are heavier. But on average the atom has a mass much the same as a proton.
Some atoms may have more or fewer what than will other atoms of the same element?
Neutrons in the nucleus, so you have isotopes of the same element, For example hydrogen, deuterium and tritium.
How do you find the number of neutrons when an element has a charge?
Neutrons are neutrally charged. It is not possible to determine the charge of an atom through knowledge of the number of neutrons contained within its nucleus. Consider hydrogen, for example. It has no neutrons, one proton, and one electron. Its charge is neutral. Deuterium is hydrogen with a neutron, but also has the same charge. Tritium is hydrogen with two neutrons within its nucleus--again, no charge.
