what is an atom of the same element with different mass numbers
Atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in variations in atomic mass while maintaining the same chemical properties.
Isotopes of an element have different masses but the same atomic number. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei.
Yes. An element is defined by its atomic number, the number, or the number of protons in its nucleus. When an atom has more or less neutrons it is still the same element, but a different isotope of that element.
Isotopes describe atoms with different atomic masses due to varying numbers of neutrons.
No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.
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.
protons and neutrons
No, different samples of an element can have varying atomic masses due to the presence of isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, leading to different atomic masses.

These atoms are called isotopes and they have a different number of neutrons.
They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, resulting in different atomic masses. This is how there can be two different atoms of iridium.
Masses.
If two atoms are isotopes, it means they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Thus, they have the same atomic numbers, but different atomic masses.
An atom or element that have different masses are known as isotopes.
An element is made up of only one type of atom. Atoms are only different from each other due to their atomic number - which is the number of protons. Different elements may have different relative atomic masses, but it is the differing number of protons in each atom that determines which element it is.
Many atoms exist in the form of different isotopes. These have different numbers of neutrons and so their atomic masses are different. The atomic mass for the element is the average of these masses, weighted together according to their abundance.
