Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.
An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).
No. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and, when neutral, the same number of electrons. They can, however, differ in the number of neutrons.
They differ in their number of neutrons.Atoms of all isotopes of carbon contain 6 protons and 6 electrons.Carbon-12 is the most common isotope.Isotopes of an element differ because each isotope has a different neutrons, but the same amount of protons.Example: H-1H-2H-1 has 1 neutron, 1 proton, and 1 electronH-2 ,however, has 2 neutrons, 1 proton, and 1 electron.
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. This results in different atomic masses for each isotope. Despite the difference in atomic mass, isotopes of an element have similar chemical properties due to their identical electron configurations.
The specific terms atoms and elements are related in The Atomic Number. The Element that an Atom belongs to is determined by the number of Protons that are contained within Its atomic nucleus. The varying number of neutrons [for any given number of protons] that are needed to keep the atomic nucleus held together is what results in the varying Atomic Weight when compared to the Atomic Number.
No they don't have. Isotopes of an element differ in mass from from each other and this is due to the different no. of electrons in their nucleus.

These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons, which results in different isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
Primarily, isotopes differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Secondarily, because some combinations of protons and neutrons produce an unstable nucleus, they may differ by being radioactive.
No. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and, when neutral, the same number of electrons. They can, however, differ in the number of neutrons.
Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons. All atoms are neutral - they always contain the same number of protons (positive) as electrons (negative). If they lose or gain electrons, they become ions. If they lose or gain protons (as in radioactive decay), they become a different element. An element is defined by its atomic number, which is the number of protons. Atoms may differ in their atomic mass. The difference is due to differing numbers of neutrons. The atomic mass on the periodic chart is the proportional average of all the naturally occurring isotopes. To determine how many neutrons in an atom, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

They have the same formulas but different organic structures.
They are called isotopes,
Isotopes are written without their atomic number when it is understood in the context in which they are being discussed. This is common in scientific texts or tables where the atomic number is implied to save space or for brevity. The atomic number can usually be inferred from the element name or other information provided.
No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.
