Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons?

A definitive answer is Isotopes of an element have a different number of neutrons. They have the same number of protons and electrons.
Here's two examples of isotopes.
#1 Hydrogen.
protium ; 1 p roton , 1 electrons, 0 neutrons ( The commonest isotope)
deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 elelctrons, 1 neutrons (knopwn as 'heavy hydrogen'(
tritium ; 1 protno, 1 electrons , 2 neutrons ) Radio- active and the rarest isotope_.
#2 Chlorine
Chlorine-35 ; 17 protons, 17 electrons, 18 neutrons.
Chlorine-37 ' 17 protonds, 17 electrons , 20 neutrons.
Because both isotopes of Chlorine are very common and in the ratios of 35:37 :: 3:1 it is averafes out to five an Atomic Mass od 35,5 .
There are many more isotopes in elements in the Periodic Table.
NB do NOT confuse with neither Allotropes nor Ions. both are different species from 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.
What structural element do all isotopes of an element have in common?
Number of protons in the nuclei of their atoms.
Atoms of the same element having different sums of protons and neutrons are called?
These atoms are called 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).
Could two isotopes of an element have different number of protons?
yes, protons affect which element an atom is. Each isotope of different elements has generally a different number of neutrons. Isotopes with the same neutron number are called isotones.
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, having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
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 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,
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.
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but a different?
Isotopes are atoms of a given element that have the same number of protons but a different mass number and therefore a different number of neutrons.
What structural element do all isotopes of an element have in common?
Number of protons in the nuclei of their atoms.
Atom of an element with a different number of protons?
This is not possible. The number of protons identifies an element, and all of the atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. The atoms of an element can, however, have different numbers of neutrons, and they are called isotopes.
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.
If you have 2 atoms have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons what will they will have the same?
No, they will not be considered isotopes since isotopes are atoms of same element (therefore, have same number of protons). However, the types of atoms which have same atomic mass number but different no. of protons, they are called isobars. Eg:- Calcium and Argon = =
How do you know whether not atoms are isotopes?
Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
What is atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons but have the same number of protons?
Isotopes.
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.
