What are atoms called if they have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?
An atom of an element having the same number of protons (as well as electrons) but a different number of neutrons is known as an isotope. Isotopes are often used in the nuclear power industry. An example of an industry is "heavy water" or Deuterium Oxide. It is water but with and isotope of hydrogen that has 2 extra neutrons. The isotope is called Deuterium, and heavy water is also sometimes known as D2O.

An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called what?
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called an Isotope.
What are the different numbers of neutrons called when two atoms have the same number of protons?
Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called "isotopes".
What is the total number of protons and neutron's in an atom called?
mass number = protons + nuetrons
How is the mass number related to the number of protons and neutrons and atoms has?
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. It represents the total number of nuclear particles (protons and neutrons) in the atom's nucleus. The number of protons in an atom determines its element, while the number of neutrons can vary to create different isotopes of the element.
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to the number of protons or neutrons or electrons in the nucleus?
The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. It determines the element's identity and position on the periodic table. Electrons and neutrons can vary in number to form different isotopes of the element.
Atoms that have different number of protons and neutrons are called?
Atoms which have different number of protons and neutrons but have the same molecular weight are called Isobars.
What is the number of protons and neutrons called?
The number protons in an atom is called the atomic number (it is this number that tells us which element the atom is). The number of neutrons in an atom can change, but the term for the amount of neutrons is called an isotope. The number of protons and neutrons added together is called the atomic mass.
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called what?
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called an Isotope.
What are the different numbers of neutrons called when two atoms have the same number of protons?
Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called "isotopes".
What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
What is an atom that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons called?
isotope
If an atom has an equal number or protons but a different number of neutrons it is called?
an isotope.
What are atoms with the same number of neutrons but different number of protons called?
isotopes
What is an atom of an element that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons called?
It is called an isotope.
What are Atoms that vary in the number of neutrons found in their nuclei called?
Atoms that vary in the number of neutrons found in their nuclei are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, which can lead to variations in their atomic mass.
What is the total number of protons and neutron's in an atom called?
mass number = protons + nuetrons
Does radium have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?
All isotopes of radium have the same number of protons; the number of neutrons is different.
