I believe you're referring to atoms having the same number of protons, but differing numbers of neutrons. These atoms are called isotopes of one another.
The word comes from the Greek for "at the same place," because even though the atoms have different masses they belong at the same place in the Periodic Table.
Isotopes are elements that differ in the number of neutrons they have. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in their nuclei but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in varying atomic weights.
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.
Atoms of the same element can differ from one another in their atomic mass, which is determined by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. These variations are called isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
All atoms of the same element are not identical. The atoms of same element with different number of neutrons are called as isotopes. Although, the number of protons and electrons are same in every atom.
Atoms of the same element that have different masses are called isotopes of the element. The presence of different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus is responsible for the existence of isotopes of an element.
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.

Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons
They are called isotopes.
They are called isotopes.
Yes, isotopes of the same element would have differed numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes.
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, the isotopes of a single element differ in the no. of neutrons
