Two atoms are considered different isotopes of their element if they have different masses. This mass comes from the neutral-charged neutrons differing.

Two atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. What can you conclude about these two atoms?

The atoms are isotopes of each other because they have the same number of protons, making them the same element. The differing number of neutrons results in a difference in atomic mass between the two isotopes.

Why can't two atoms with the same mass number be isotopes of each other?

The number of protons must be the same.


Can isotopes have positive and negative charges?

Isotopes are just the different possible nuclear weights of each element. Some are stable; some are unstable and radioactive. Since all atoms are isotopes and all isotopes are atoms, Isotopes can - and do - form ions, consequently they can have positive and negative charges.

They are called isotopes.


When two atoms have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons what are these atoms?

They are isotopes of each other.


Why don't isotopes have an electrical charge?

The atoms are like any other atom, the electron charge and proton charge cancel each other and the varying numbers of neutrons have no charge.


Is oxygen 16 and nitrogen 16 isotopes of each other?

No, they are isotopes with the same atomic mass. But they are isotopes of different elements and so are very different from on another. For example nitrogen-16 and nitrogen-14 are isotopes of the same element.


How many kinds of atoms are in an element?

Some elements have isotopes - atoms with a different number of neutrons.


What are atoms with the same element with varying numbers of neutrons?

Do u mean what are they called, the atoms of the same elements with the varying numbers of neutrons are called "Isotopes". they carry out the same functions in chemical reaction, and they are not chemically different from each other, but difference may persist during nuclear reaction.
