If the number of neutrons increase what happens to the mass of atoms?

Nothing. The number of atoms in a mole of any specified element is always the same, except for elements that form polyatomic molecules. However, the questioner probably meant "moles of atoms of an element"; if so, the number of atoms is always Avogadro's Number, 6.022 X 1023.

What are Atoms that vary in the number of neutrons found in their nuclei called?
Different elements with same number of neutrons are known as isotones.
Do all atoms of the same element have the same number of isotopes?
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?'
How many protons and neutrons does a diamond have?
A diamond is composed of carbon atoms. The atomic number of carbon is 6, so all carbon atoms have 6 protons in their nuclei. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope of carbon. Carbon-11 atoms have 5 neutrons, carbon-12 atoms have 6 neutrons, carbon-13 atoms have 7 neutrons, and carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons. Refer to the related links below to see the Wikipedia articles on carbon and diamond.
Which's the statement about atoms?
the number of neutrons and protons are equal
Is it true that all particles are alike in elements?
No. All atoms of a given element are alike in the number of protons, which is the atomic number of an element. However, the number of neutrons in the nucleus can vary. Atoms of elements with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. All atoms of a given element in their ground state have the same number of electrons as they do protons, but if they form ions, the number of electrons will increase or decrease, depending on the element, but the number of protons remains the same.
How can an atoms number of neutrons be determined?
Mass number-Atomic Number= Number of neutrons
How do you find the number of neutrons in an elements atoms?
number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
Do atoms have neutrons in them?
Atoms of all elements can have neutrons in them. Only the element hydrogen has an isotope whose atoms do not contain neutrons, but all other isotopes of hydrogen have neutrons in them. In the heavier elements the number of neutrons always exceeds the number of protons in the atom.
What are Atoms that vary in the number of neutrons found in their nuclei called?
Different elements with same number of neutrons are known as isotones.
Do all of the atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons?
Yes, all atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons.
What atomic particle that determines a specific isotope?
The atomic particle that determines a specific isotope is the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Isotopes are different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The number of neutrons affects the mass of the atom and gives rise to different isotopes with varying atomic weights.
What Make up 50 percent of the atomic mass of the nucleus?
Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons. Heavier atoms have a larger percentage of their mass in neutrons.Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons.

Atoms that have different number of protons and neutrons are called?
Atoms which have different number of protons and neutrons but have the same molecular weight are called Isobars.
What happens when an atom?
if the atoms will split the number of protons and neutrons will decreased because of their respective numbers of electrons used due tothe splits of the atoms. in this case it explodes
Are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but have different number of neutrons?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element, having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
Do atoms have different number of neutrons?
yes
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
