What make an atom an isotope?
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
Does an atom retain the chemical identity of an element?
An isotope is an atom that contains a different number of neutrons. In order for an element to change there has to be a different number of protons.
What are atoms that have the same element but different neutrons?
IsotopesThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element. The number of neutrons can vary. If two atoms of the same element have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei, they are isotopes of that element.
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
What is the name of an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons?
Ion
Atom of an element with different number of neutrons?
Isotope
If there was an atom of this element that has 18 neutrons would it still be the same element?
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.

If the number of neutrons in an atom is changed does the atom become a new element Why or why not?
Changing the number of neutrons in an atom does not change the element it belongs to because the element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Changing the number of neutrons would result in an isotope of the same element, not a new element.

isotopes
What atom of an element with a different number of neutrons?
Isotopes.
What subatomic particle determines if an element is an isotope or not?
The neutron; the proton determines the element of the atom, but different atoms of the same element can have different atomic masses, due to the different number of neutrons of the atoms. Atoms of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called Isotopes. Thus, neutron determines the isotope of an atom.
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.
