Isotopes.
Isotopes.
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
Every atom of the same element is also categorized by its number of neutrons. An atom with a certain number of neutrons is an "isotope." Two atoms of the same element (same quantity of protons) can be different isotopes (different quantity of neutrons). Some isotopes are unstable, so most stable isotopes of an element are withing a range of a few numbers. For example, stable isotopes of carbon are Carbon-12 and Carbon-13.
Isotopes are different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.
Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons; the different possible versions of each element are called isotopes. For example, the most common isotope of hydrogen has no neutrons at all; there's also a hydrogen isotope called deuterium, with one neutron, and another, tritium, with two neutrons.
It's called an isotope.

Isotopes are different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
The number of neutrons present in atoms of an element may differ. Atoms of an element which have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. These differ in mass but have the same chemistry.All of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are the same.
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.
