Assuming the question is "do all isotopes of an element form the same type of ions" then the answer is YES.
The chemistry of an element is determined by the number of protons and electrons.
Isotopes of an element only differ one from another by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus, the chemistry is not affected, and they will form the same ions.
An example is chlorine. The two common isotopes are 35Cl and 37Cl which are both present in nature. Both form Cl- ions.

Are the number of protons always equal to the number of neutrons?
No, in fact, they rarely are equal. There are different forms of the same type of atom. For example, there are three isotopes of Hydrogen, an element that has one proton. Hydrogen-1 has no neutrons. Hydrogen-2 has one neutron. Hydrogen-3 has two neutrons.
Why Plastic is an element?
Plastic is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. Once it has this, it can go on the Periodic Table. So, as plastic has many different types of atom in it, it's not an element.
Can atoms of different elements have the same number of protons be from the same element?
No. Each type of atom (element) has its own unique number of protons, which is called the atomic number. Atoms of the same element will always have the same atomic number (number of protons). Atoms of different elements will never have the same atomic number (number of protons).
Atoms of the same element can differ in?
An atom is made of 3 key componants, proton, neutron and electron. Different amounts of protons in the atom make it a different element, e.g carbon 12 is an element with 12 protons AND neutrons, so 6 protons and 6 neutrons. So if a proton is added to an atom, it creates a different type of atom....but.....if another Neutron is added, for example, making carbon 12-->carbon 14 by adding 2 neutrons, this makes it an isotope of carbon, as carbon would normally be found as carbon 12. So an isotope is an atom with an unnatural amount of neutrons within it.
When a chemical equation contains the same number of atoms on both sides is the equation balanced?
From each side the number of atoms of each element must be the same.
Name 3 radioactive metals?
Most elements - metals and non-metals - have both stable and radioactivie isotopes. If an element is a type of atom, an isotope is something like a "sub-type". Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons.Most elements - metals and non-metals - have both stable and radioactivie isotopes.

Is the same atoms of element has same melting point?
Yes, it is true for one type of isotope; isotopes of an element have different melting points.
What do you call of a atom of the same element differ from one another?
They are called isotopes and the difference between different isotopes of one type of element is the amount of neutrons each have.
Does an element contain only one type of atom . true or false?
True, if it contains more than one is is not a single element but a combination of elements. We should include one caveat: elements can have different isotopes of that element. By one definition all the isotopes are still the same "type" of atom since they all have the same number of protons even if they differ in the number of neutrons. If the number of protons differs you no longer have the same element.
What is the difference between positively charged molecular ions and positively charged ions having group of atoms?
Molecular Ions essentially consist of the same type of atoms (most probably the atoms of the same element) and the radicals may not have the same characteristic.
Atoms of different elements are different because they have different numbers of what type of particle?
Atoms are considered to be of the same element if they have the same number of protons. If their atoms have a different number of NEUTRONS, they are known as ISOTOPES of the same element.
Does the isotopes have the same protons or neutrons?
Regardless of element type, an isotope will have the same number of protons as the base element. The atomic mass changes due to the addition (or subtraction) of neutrons in the atom's nucleus. This in turn leads to an unstable atom and radiation.
How can you find the number of neutrons an element t has?
One quick way to find that out is to open the Wikipedia and type "Isotopes of Carbon", "Isotopes of Uranium", or whatever element you are interested in. Please note that each element has several different isotopes; the number of neutrons varies from one isotope to another.
What is a substance that is an element or a compound not a mixture?
A mixture is an association of elements and compounds but without chemical bonding. Compugs contain chemical elements chemically bonded. An element contain the same type of atoms, including isotopes.
What is the lightest element that can undergo radioactive decay and what type of decay occurs in that element?
The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.
What atoms are isotopes?
Let's say an atom is missing a neutron or has an extra neutron.That type of atom is called an isotope.An atom is still the same element if it is missing an electron.The same goes for isotopes.They are still the same element.They are just a little different from every other atom of the same element.
Do atoms of elements in the same group from the same type of ions or different types of ions?
YES
