An element that has forms with different numbers of neurons is referred to as an "allotrope." Allotropes are different forms of the same element that have distinct physical or chemical properties due to variations in their atomic structure, such as differences in the number of neurons. Examples include carbon allotropes like graphite, diamond, and fullerene.
Isotopes, which are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes are different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
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.
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.
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.

They are isotopes of that element, they have different neutron numbers.
It's called an isotope.

They 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.
