Isotopes are species of atoms having same atomic no. but different atomic masses.
So an isotope has either lesser or more neutrons than the usual atom of the element ( often called the most abundant isotope).
The number of protons in the atom's nucleus, known as the atomic number, differentiates an atom of one element from another. Each element has a unique atomic number, which determines its chemical properties and place on the periodic table.
The number of neutrons in an atom depends on the isotope. The most common sulfur isotope has 16. The average number of neutrons in an atom of sulfur is about 32.065.
The ion charge is typically written as a superscript to the right of the element symbol in an isotope symbol. For example, if an atom loses one electron to become positively charged, the ion charge would be indicated as a +1 next to the element symbol.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of any given element. The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of an isotope of an element.
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called an Isotope.
An isotope is an atom of an element. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. However, all atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?
This atom is called isotope.

the atom is an isotope
Is called an Isotope.
Each atom of an isotope of beryllium (or of another element) is different from the atoms of an other isotope. But all the atoms of an isotope are identical.
That varies depending on the element and the isotope. An element is defined by its number of protons. This is called the "atomic number" of an element.
