What are elements with identical number for protons and different number of neutrons called?
The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.
What are the requirements for two atoms to be isotopes of each other?
Basically,there are two things that make 2 atoms isotopes 1: there atomic number should be same(Number of protons/electrons should be the same) 2:there mass number (i.e number of neutrons+protons) should be the same. Hope this helps
What causes atoms of the same elements to have different atomic masses?
Elements have a certain number of protons(+), neutrons(0) and electrons(-). The atomic number shows the number of protons and electrons in the element (has to have the same number of each to stay stable). The atomic mass shows the number of neutrons. For example, Hydrogen has an atomic mass of ~1.01 (and an atomic number of 1). That means that it has 1 electron and 1 proton but no neutron (1 proton+0 neutrons=1). Helium has an atomic mass of ~4.00 (and an atomic number of 2). That means that it has 2 electrons, 2 protons and 2 neutrons (2 protons+2 neutrons=4). Hope you can understand. :S
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.
How are isotopes of the same element different from each other?
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.
Can 2 different elements have the same neutrons and protons?
Each chemical element has a different number of protons; the number of neutrons can be similar.

What could be different about 2 or more atoms of the same atom?
Did you mean, "What could be different about 2 or more atoms of the same element?" If you did, the answer is that they can have a different number of neutrons.
What causes atoms of the same elements to have different atomic masses?
Elements have a certain number of protons(+), neutrons(0) and electrons(-). The atomic number shows the number of protons and electrons in the element (has to have the same number of each to stay stable). The atomic mass shows the number of neutrons.

Which elements have different isotopes?
Many elements have different isotopes: 1) Carbon - Carbon 12, Carbon 14 2) Hydrogen - Protium, Deuterium, Tritium 3) Chlorine - Chlorine 35, Chlorine 37 etc
How is isotope and mass number related?
2 isotopes of the same element will have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The sum of protons and neutrons is the mass number, so different isotopes will have different mass numbers.
What are atoms of the same element with different numbers neutrons called?
'ISOTOPES'. The definitive statement is ' Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons'. NB Do NOT confuse with 'Allotropes' . Allotropes of the same element exhibit different physical characteristics. The elements Sulphur and Phosphorus are the two classic examples of allotropes.
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons?
YES. The very definition of isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of proton (same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, therefore different mass numbers.
What is unique about an isotope?
Isotopes of an element differ from each other by having different numbers of neutrons. For example: 1H (hydrogen), 2H (deuterium), 3H (tritium) are isotopes. They have the same number of protons (1) but different numbers of neutrons (0, 1, and 2 respectively).
Can atoms of two different elements have the same number of neutrons?
Number of protons in in an element denote the type of element. So you identify element on the number of protons in it. Protons being positively charged can not sit together in a nucleus. They will repel each other. So you do not have an element in which only 2 or more protons and no neutrons are there.It means neutrons act as binding material in an element. So usually equal or more neutrons are there in an element. If same number of neutrons are there in nucleus but different number of protons, then it is no more a same but different element. An element in which different number of neutrons are there are called as Isotope. All element have got one or more Isotopes. So there 'physical' properties would differ but not 'chemical' property.
Can you always determine an element by the number of neutrons?
No, because some elements have Isotopes, with the same Proton number but different Neutron numbers. Sometimes therefore, the neutron number can overlap with that of isotopes of other elements. For example, two of Helium's isotopes share neutron numbers with two of Hydrogen's isotopes. Deuterium has 1 neutron, and so does 3He, Tritium has 2 neutrons, and so does 4He. It is the number of protons which determines which element it is.
