An atom of the same element that differs in the number of neutrons is known as an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, which means they belong to the same element and have similar chemical properties. However, their differing neutron counts result in different atomic masses and can lead to variations in stability, with some isotopes being radioactive. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are both isotopes of carbon, with different numbers of neutrons.
An isotope
The number of neutrons in an isotope differs, leading to variations in mass number. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons.
isotope
The element with 10 neutrons in a neutral atom is neon (atomic number 10).
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
This atom is called isotope.
An atom of an element that differs in the number of neutrons compared with other atoms in the same element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in variations in atomic mass.

isotope
Yes. Atoms with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that atom, but a variation in the number of neutrons does not change what the atom is.
Isotopesare variants of atoms of a particular chemical element, which have differing numbers of neutrons. Atoms of a particular element by definition must contain the same number of protons but may have a distinct number of neutrons which differs from atom to atom, without changing the designation of the atom as a particular element.
The mass number is the sum of protons + neutrons.
The number of neutrons in an atom determines the isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons. This affects the stability and nuclear properties of the atom.
